Want easy access to a variety of resources such as archival materials, articles, books, data resources, dissertations & thesis, government documents, textbook & course materials, and more? Check out the Find Library Material page.
Many databases offer full text of articles; however, if a database indexes citations or abstracts but not full text, you may not have instant access to the whole article. You can click on the Get It @ R button to see if Rutgers has it on another database or at the library. If you are not able to access then you will need to place an InterLibrary Loan request.
*Please see a full list of databases relating to the Arts at this LINK.
**The links above go to databases that contain information about art history articles, books, catalogs, and more! (For help using the indexes, click on the "i" next to each name.)
Google Scholar searches scholarly literature and includes peer-reviewed papers, dissertations, book citations, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from a variety of content providers. Some content is available in full text.
Be sure to access Google Scholar through an RU campus computer or from the list of Indexes and Databases on the RU Libraries website (or click here). This way you will get instant access to full text resources that are available from Rutgers University Libraries-subscribed databases or electronic journals.
When you are looking for an article, search by author, title, or subject, same as you would in a library catalog, or search by keyword like you would in Google, using all of the tips in the box next to this one. After a search, you can filter your results by manipulating the options on the left side of the screen, for example date range and relevance. On the right side of the screen you will see what the availablity is of each result in your list. If the full-text of an article is available via open-access or through the university, a link will be made available. If there is no link, then only the bibiliography is available, and you will want to search the Rutgers catalog or Interlibrary Loan if you want to pursue the item.
Google Search Tips
1. Put quotes ("") around multiple words to search as a phrase rather than individual words. Good for finding exact quotations.
Example: ["In one of its panels a very singular figure riveted my whole attention."]
2. Use a star (*) for wildcard searching, which finds multiple endings of a single word.
Example: [paint*] finds paint, paints, painter, painting, etc.
3. Use minus sign (-) to eliminate word or term from search.
Example: [jaguar speed -car] finds information on the animal
4. Add the term "site:" to limit searching to a single website or domain.
Example1 : [futurism site:metmuseum.org] searches only the Met's website
Example 2: [futurism site:.edu] searches only university websites
5. Find more search box tips here or visit Google Scholar Help.
