This guide for conducting library research on topics in art or the work of a particular artist presents suggestions for utilizing four categories of resources: books, dictionaries and encyclopedias, indexes, and a periodicals and serials list (PASL). Three topics are researched as examples: the contemporary artist and author Frank Stella, the Baroque artist Caravaggio, and the technique of paper art. Although this guide discusses the resources available at the J. Murrey Atkins Library of the University of North Carolina (Charlotte), it also can be useful to people conducting library research on art topics in general. (DB)
