Art & Architecture Library

Several universities provide excellent guides to citing images in papers and presentations. Two standouts are:

The Art & Architecture and Engineering Libraries recently subscribed jointly to the database Material conneXion, which provides technical information and images for materials used in design and manufacturing. Details include materials' sustainability, fire resistance, acoustics, stiffness, transparency, texture, etc.

The Image Permanence Institute at the Rochester Institute of Technology has recently created an online print study collection that allows visitors to learn about and compare print processes ranging from intaglio lithography to ink jet. Print identification can be a tricky task, and the only way to truly gain proficiency is to spend lots of time with lots of prints.

However, it has been quite awhile since a patron has requested to see these volumes--so it was a treat when a visiting scholar wanted to look at all of the plate volumes earlier this week.
