Items related to Art Information and the Internet: How to Find it, How...
In the first book of its kind, art information expert Lois Swan Jones discusses how to locate visual and textual information on the Internet and how to evaluate and supplement that information with material from other formats--print sources, CD-ROMS, documentary videos, and microfiche sets--to produce excellent research results.
The book is divided into three sections: Basic Information Formats; Types of Websites and How to Find Them; and How to Use Web Information. Jones discusses the strengths and limitations of Websites; scholarly and basic information resources are noted; and search strategies for finding pertinent Websites are included.
Art Information and the Internet also discusses research methodology for studying art-historical styles, artists working in various media, individual works of art, and non-Western cultures--as well as art education, writing about art, problems of copyright, and issues concerning the buying and selling of art. This title will be periodically updated.

About the Author:
From Library Journal:
Lois Swan Jones, PhD, is a professor emeritus in the School of Visual Arts at the University of North Texas, where she was coordinator of the art history program. She has written and lectured extensively on art research methodology. Jones is the author of several books, notably, Art Information: Research Methods and Resources (third edition, 1990) and Art Libraries and Information Services (1986), and she has Jones has been listed in Whos Who in American Art since 1978, and in 1997, she received the Distinguished Service Award from the Art Libraries Society of North America for her contributions to the field of art information research. 2000 Worldwide Books Publication Award, which was presented at the 2000 Annual conference of ARLIS/NA.
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
