some of the more useful sources for art history research.

you can look through these joint catalogs:

California catalog system and delivers in 5-10 days

Useful Subject Terms
Can't think of terms to accurately describe your topic?
Library catalogs use specific subject headings to group
related books together. 'Art' and 'education' are such large topics, you will
want to think of ways to narrow it down, by time period, artist, culture, etc. Ask a librarian to
help, or here are some
examples to think about:
Articles
Use
the History research databases as well as Art resources for
a thorough search.

Canadian history, from pre-history to the present.
