Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Quite detailed, substantive, and very well organized, this book fills a gap in the literature but is almost overwhelming in its scope and level of information. Jones, professor emeritus in the School of Visual Arts, University of North Texas, and the author of numerous books on art research (e.g., Art Information, Kendall Hunt, 1994. 3d. ed.), has tried to create a new type of reference source to encompass the ever-expanding electronic arena. The result is highly successful in bringing attention to peripheral yet still very relevant art resources such as cultural and civic group sites, guides to foundations and granting institutions, and information on auction sales and appraisals. With information on the World Wide Web changing and growing so quickly, however, the many specifically cited examples may be for naught. A special website has been created by the publisher to post updates to this material. An essential guide for all art history researchers, this also would be suitable for all public, special, and academic libraries with art history collections. But one wonders, Why isn't this published online??Jennifer L.S. Moldwin, Detroit Inst. of Arts

This review is from: Art Information and the Internet (How to Find It, How to Use It) (Paperback)
This book is a compendium of information sources for artists. It provides long, categorized lists of websites on a range of topics, including art techniques, individual artists, and even copyright law. It also covers non-Internet resources, such as libraries and museum exhibit catalogs. The Internet resources listed are already becoming dated... a real problem putting this type of information in a printed book. Still, there's some useful information on search methodologies that will work even if sites move and change.The focus of the material presented is very academic. This book will be more useful to a scholarly researcher than a practicing artist or art patron.
