Web searching is fine, but remember that the library pays for more academic resources. Sophie Bajard and Raffaello Bencini, Rome, palaces and gardens. Paris : Terrail, 1997. Marquand (SA) Oversize NA7756.R6 B34213 1997q Grove Dictionary of Art This good general resource includes biographies of both Western and non-Western artists, architects, patrons, critics, and collectors in addition to major entries on art styles, subjects, and media.

Marquand (SA): Reference Oversize DG68 .L494 1993q | Finding Books | TIP #1: You will not find articles in the online catalog, only journal titles. For articles look in databases like the Avery Index. TIP #2: When doing keyword seaches you must use AND, OR, NOT logic. See below for details. TIP #3: If Princeton doesn't have everything you need, search large online catalogs such as RLIN or WorldCat. You can request items through the Borrow Direct service or interlibrary loan. Keyword Searching Try to think of words that are specific to your topic (such as bernini and criticism) and not too general (architecture). Think of multiple ways to describe what you want. A keyword search requires Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) or quotes. Use quotes for exact phrases "piazza navona"Combine keywords to narrow your search "federico fellini" and romeYou can also use truncation villa? picks up words like "villa," "villas," and "villain"Subject Searching When you search by subject, you can search by a very broad concept (gardens) to a very narrow one (the history of 19th century Roman gardens). You must put your search words in a particular order, and you cannot use AND, OR, NOT. gardens -- italy -- rome -- 19th centuryNote: the dashes (--) between words are to illustrate the subdivisions. Limiting Searches The "Set Limits" button takes you to a screen where you can set limits which will narrow your search results. These limits only work with keyword searches. They stay in effect for subsequent searches unless you clear them. You can limit by: Date (year item was published)| Finding Articles | TIP #1: As in the main catalog, both keyword and subject searching will work in databases like the Avery Index. TIP #2: To find the actual article in the library after finding the citation, you have to search the online catalog for the title of the journal. For instance, to find the following article: D.R. Coffin, "The self-image of the Roman villa during the Renaissance." Architectura v. 28 no. 2 (1998) p. 181-203.Do a journal title search in the online catalog for Architectura. TIP #3: Many databases support PULinks, which searches for the article in full text sources and in our online catalog.
