Looking for infomation on arts & artists?

The Grove Dictionary of Art database is easily the best place for students at DCC to research paintings, sculpture and architecture. Recently revamped and renamed, it’s now Oxford Art Online and not only looks quite a bit different, but also includes some great new features.

The most important change is that there is now a “Biographies” link on the main page that goes to an alphabetical index of entries for individual artists. There’s also link to a section called “learning resources” that has overviews of important art movements, as well as some MOMA based lesson plans. Best of all, there's also a button to format citations from the database.

To use Oxford Art Online, go to MyDCC and look for the "Library" tab. Then click on "Off Campus Database Access." On that page, Oxford Art Online is listed under "Art".
