Best bets - more databases for Arts Administration topics

Art administration information can be found in a variety of databases:

 

Data sets and research on intellectual property, arts management, contracts, commerce in the arts, and demographics, consumer, and market information are also found in business, law, and social science databases:

 

 

You can search for articles on artists, musicians, actors, and reviews in the databases below. For example, the Music Periodicals Database provides the full-text of articles in magazines and newspapers such as Rolling Stone.

 

Getting database articles themselves (if not via direct links in the database)

 

Once you have found a list of citations for articles on your topic in the databases, how do you get the articles themselves?

 

  1. Sometimes the full text of the article is already attached to the database citation, as a PDF or HTML file. (Yay!) If so, just click to open, save, or print it!

  2. More often, the databases provide the citation only, telling you where to find the articles. Check InfoKat to see if UK Libraries has the periodical in our collection and if we have the issue or date you need. (Search by the title of the journal or magazine, not the title of the specific article.)

  3. If our library does have the title and issue/date you need, we might have it online, in hard copy/print, or both. Click through from the InfoKat record for online versions, or for print versions, go to the shelf at the library to find and scan a copy of the article for yourself. 
    If UK does not collect the magazine or journal you need, or we do not have access to the issue or date you need, you can request the article via Interlibrary Loan (ILL). UK Libraries will request a scan from another library and then forward it on to you.
