Guide to Bishop Library art and art history resources.

Where Should I Begin?

Start with a LVC Books search.  Mary Cassatt's Woman Reading in a Garden

Not finding anything here?  Search World-wide Books, or WorldCat.  Try also  the Virtual Catalogue for Art History.

You'll need to use interlibrary loan for books found in the WorldCat or in the Virtual Catalogue.

Interlibrary Loan, ILL, or Tipasa,  is a service that will provide you with books that LVC does not own. 

Most of the library's databases will provide a Looking for Full Text? link on results that don't provide PDF full-text.  If that Looking for Full-Text? link fails, you'll see a button for Request this Item through LVC Tipasa.

You can also place an ILL request from the library's homepage.  Via interlibrary loan, we'll borrow the book from another library for you and will notify you via email when your book arrives.

How long does it take?

Books will take a bit longer (they have to come through the mail)--allow two weeks.
