Below are a few examples of available art e-books. E-books are linked through the Library catalog, and will turn up in your general catalog searching.
The university's Main Library contains thousands of books on a variety of arts media, making, and art historical research topics. You can perform author, title and subject searches in the Library Catalog. You can also search by keywords. If you know the ISBN/ISSN or call number, you can find books that way as well. To search the library's physical holdings, go here.
If you cannot find what you need in our catalog, you may request the material through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Or, it may be available as an e-book or full-text article. If you still cannot locate materials, please contact your librarian for further assistance.
Library of Congress call numbers for the Fine Arts are Class N (located on the second floor)
Oversize Books It is not uncommon for art books to be large. Oversize books will be noted in the catalog and are located on the second floor. Occasionally, oversize books are housed in our offsite storage facility and, once requested, are usually delivered to the Main Library within 24-48 hours.
The Directory of Artists' Books Collections managed by Carnegie Mellon University and the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLiS-NA). The directory was compiled to increase awareness of artists' books collections. It currently contains collections primarily in the United States and Canada. A number of these collections are available online and may be used for educational or research purposes.
