Library Journal Review

Quite detailed, substantive, and very well organized, this book fills a gap in the literature but is almost overwhelming in its scope and level of information. Jones, professor emeritus in the School of Visual Arts, University of North Texas, and the author of numerous books on art research (e.g., Art Information, Kendall Hunt, 1994. 3d. ed.), has tried to create a new type of reference source to encompass the ever-expanding electronic arena. The result is highly successful in bringing attention to peripheral yet still very relevant art resources such as cultural and civic group sites, guides to foundations and granting institutions, and information on auction sales and appraisals. With information on the World Wide Web changing and growing so quickly, however, the many specifically cited examples may be for naught. A special website has been created by the publisher to post updates to this material. An essential guide for all art history researchers, this also would be suitable for all public, special, and academic libraries with art history collections. But one wonders, Why isn't this published online?‘Jennifer L.S. Moldwin, Detroit Inst. of Arts (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

CHOICE Review

Jones brings order to the vast, unorganized mass of art information on the World Wide Web. A noted art researcher, Jones presents a practical methodology for research and problem solving, covering how to locate desired Web information amid all the Internet clutter. She logically categorizes art and art research by dividing the book into three sections: part 1 treats the variety of information formats available, particularly useful for Web neophytes. Web wonks will probably lightly skip through this. Part 2 covers types of Web sites and how to find them, including academic institutions, cultural organizations, libraries, and foundations; there is a brief section on buying and selling works of art. Part 3 discusses how to use and supplement Web information, with emphasis on developing search strategies. Notably, there are sections on art history and artistic styles, architecture, graphic arts, fashion, photography, and sculpture as well as North American and non-European cultures. This exhaustive book lists numerous, well-annotated Web sites. The organization and level of detail set a standard for similar works in other disciplines. All levels. W. A.
