The Art Full Text database, which until now has been available on its own search platform from the H.W. Wilson company, is now available to search on the EBSCOhost platform, alongside other familiar databases such as Academic Search Elite and the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals.
This change has happened because H.W. Wilson has been bought up by EBSCO Publishing. You can access journal articles from Art Full Text on the new platform:
- Via the University Portal (database searchable on its own or alongside 17 other EBSCOhost databases for more comprehensive search results); or
- As a list of journal titles on the e-journals A-to-Z.
Art Full Text on the old H.W. Wilson platform is still accessible until February 2012 – after which it will be retired. Please contact your subject librarian for help with this or any database!
Art Full Text™ is a comprehensive resource for art information featuring full-text articles from more than 300 periodicals dating back to 1995, high-quality indexing and abstracting of over 600 periodicals dating as far back as 1984, including 280 peer-reviewed journals, as well as indexing and abstracting of over 13,000 art dissertations. Indexing of almost 200,000 art reproductions provides examples of styles and art movements, including works by emerging artists. The database covers fine, decorative and commercial art, folk art, photography, film, and architecture, and also includes a database-specific thesaurus.
