Finding periodical articles in graphic and digital design

Identifying articles on a topic:

Use the Indexes below to identify articles in journals on graphic and digital design topics:

Art Abstracts, 1929 to present

Artbibliographies Modern, 1974 to present

Design and Applied Arts Index, 1973 to present

Obtaining articles:

If the Index does not provide a link to the Library Catalog or to the article online, or if you have an article citation from another source:

To find an article full-text online, search by the name of the journal (not the title of the article) in the Online Full Text Journal Finder. This will identify a database which provides full text of that journal and the dates covered.

To find an article in a paper journal, search the Library Catalog by the name of the journal. The catalog will identify the volume numbers, dates and location of journals owned by UC Libraries.

These indexes and databases are also accessible from the University Libraries Web page:
