Information skills

Steer your course through the website

The website has a "Guide to Researching Art History Online"
- The section "General Search Information" offers helps for the various steps of research
  - "Looking For Information" where we can revise notions introduced in the tutorial on Search Skills , and study their use in Art History:
    - the use of "Boolean operators" in Art History (+, to link two notions, e.g. "fan vault")
    - the difference between "engines" and "directories"
  - "Evaluating websites" with links to other sites about web evaluation: we can revise notions about the "domain name" (e.g. ---.ac.--)
- The section "Specific Problems" offers help for the other stages of research; in addition to search skills, the research process also include questions of terminology, and search for images (apart from websites identified by keywords)
  - "Seeking Definitions and Explanations Of Words And Terms": list of sites giving glossaries in the history of art
  - "Looking For Images By Particular Artists": list of sites for such searches, with comments on search criteria (search by period, by media).
The link "Discipline Resources" (in the left-hand margin) leads to several menus, where (in "General Resource Links") you find
- "Art Links"
  - with references by period
  - and with a section "Other Interesting Sites" which mentions, among others, the webpage "Analysis of Visual Images - Ross Woodrow at the University of Newcastle, Australia, examines how to analyse images"
