Why does the type of publication matter?

• Newspaper articles are often short and chronicle a daily record of a particular town or city. Newspapers are a good source of art exhibition reviews.

• Magazines often take up the same types of topics, but in a bit more depth than newspapers. Magazines, such as The New Yorker, also review art exhibits. Magazines are generally dedicated to a particular subject area.

• Professional Journals find their audience with the practioners in a field.

• Scholarly journals are written by academics and for a more academic audience. Scholarly articles are generally peer reviewed and offer more analytical discussions of an artist.

The tool that will help you find articles on your topic is a database. The library subscribes to many databases, and these are the ones I recommend starting with

Here's what the search screen in Academic Search Complete looks like. Note all the different ways you can focus your search for articles.
