QUICK TIPS

  • Remember to use quotation marks around any search that has two or more terms, like movements, names, or titles of work. Example: "Kerry James Marshall"
  • When searching for a topic, try and generate a few alternative words that might also produce results.
  • Example: Embroidery (original idea), Fiber Arts, Cross Stitching, Textiles
  • Utilize other resources to generate keywords such as Thesaurus.com, Instagram Hashtags, or visual databases such as Artstor (first time users and previously registered users)
