• Works by the author--such as their own web sites or interviews with them--make for powerful sources that help you understand your chosen art in the creator's own words.  Searching for these materials can usually be done through Google:

• Rely on scholarly articles and books as your foundational sources.  Museum web sites are good places to start searching and do background reading about your artists  However, please do not use museum web sites as sources in and of themselves.  Use them to find scholarly articles and books:

--Look for keywords and topics in web sites that you can then use as search terms in library databases

--Check the bibliographies of web sites to see if they offer citations to scholarly articles and books

Avoid .com and .edu web sites for this class  Try to find museum web sites which have .org in their addresses.  You can even limit your search to .org web sites using the site:org command.  Example:

Jenny Saville museum site:org
