Art Journals


Current print journals (published in print form) at the Emporia Library include:

ARTnews

Art Bulletin (also available online)

Art Journal (also available online)

A tab on the Emporia Library website allows you to search for full-text and print journals by title.  You can narrow down your search by using the subject heading "Art, Architecture, and Applied Arts."

Unless the journal is marked "freely-accessible" you will have to log on to most of these online versions of journals with your Emporia password.  Sometimes the full text of a journal article will be available.  Other times the journals will have to be found in print holdings in the Emporia Library or requested through InterLibrary Loan.

One thing to be aware of when dealing with journal articles that have been scanned or otherwise reproduced for viewing on the internet: the images in the journals are often poorly reproduced or missing entirely because of copyright issues with the rightsowners for those images.  In order to see the images as they were intended in the original journals, you must find the original printed version!

Online art journals (open access)

Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide


 A number of online-only, open access journals are now published on the internet with the express intent of making academic research available to everyone online (not accessible only through a subscription service like JSTOR). 
How can you tell if an online journal is reliable as an academic resource? 
  • Look for .org or .edu in the URL of the journal
  • Look for the phrase "peer-reviewed" in the description (this means that articles must be reviewed by other scholars in the field before they can appear in the journal)
(Always use common sense when viewing journals--or anything--on the internet!  Lots of ads?  Misspellings? Unchecked opinions that have an aggressive tone?  Examine this resource with your critical thinking cap on.  More suggestions for evaluating online sources can be found in the ESU Research Guide "Evaluating Online Information.")
