ART 4831 - Capstone in Studio Art: Find Books

To find books and other materials housed in the library, use the Library's catalog. The GIL-Find Catalog allows you to search for Books, eBooks, DVDs, and other materials housed in the library. 

Can't find what you need? To identify materials held at other USG Libraries, select "University System of Georgia" from the drop-down menu when searching. Use our Gil-Express service to have materials sent to Statesboro. 

Books are the best source for in-depth information when you really need to know a subject in and out. Typical books are structured in such a way as to lead you from little knowledge about a subject to a more thorough understanding; this cannot usually be said for web resources or articles. Books can be considered scholarly sources, but remember, they do not always contain the most current research on a topic (refer to the Information Cycle). For this, you may need to locate research journal articles on your topic.

Most art materials have N call numbers and are shelved on third-floor.  The N section is divided by medium:

• N- Visual Arts

• NA- Architecture

• NB- Sculpture

• NC- Drawing, Design, Illustrations

• ND- Painting

• NE- Print Media

• NK- Decorative Arts

• NX- Arts in General

These broad categories are broken down further by time period, movement, subject or artist:

• ND615- Painting-Italian Renaissance

• ​NX440-632- History of the Arts
