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 Full Text (Art Abstracts) Connect
1929-present
Art Bibliographies Modern Connect
1973-present
Design & Applied Arts Index Connect
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 clicking on the journal tab and enter 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:
