"Qui scit ubi scientis sit, ille est proximus habenti." Brunetiere*

Before Beginning Research

FFAL hours: M-H, 9-9; F, 9-5; Sa-Su, Noon – 5 Policies:

Food and drink may only be consumed in the building’s cloister and not in the library. Personal Reserve: Undergraduate students may, if working on a class term paper, ask that books be checked out to the “Personal Reserve” area where they will be placed under your name while working on your paper. The materials may not leave the library. Requesting Items: All ULS libraries allow you to request an item that is in the ULS Storage Facility at no charge by using the Requests Tab in Pitt Cat. Items that are not in the Pitt library system may also be requested from another library that owns them via the Requests tab in Pitt Cat. There is a $5.00 fee for journal articles using this service, but books are free of charge. Photocopying and Printing: There are two photocopiers and one printer in the FFAL Reference Room. One photocopier accepts cash (15 cents per copy) and both are equipped with a reader for the Pitt ID debit card (10 cents per copy). Funds may be added to the cards at a machine in Hillman Library by using cash or a major credit card; or by calling the Panther Central office (412-648-1100) or visiting Panther Central in the lobby of Litchfield Towers and using cash or a major credit card.

Notes on Using the Internet for Research

• For research purposes, the Internet consists of the “free web” and Internet

resources that are purchased and provided by ULS Libraries on the “deep web” (i.e., Grove’s Dictionary of Art and other databases listed below and Pitt Cat, the ULS online catalog).

• Web resources on the “deep web” – including many article databases – are

carefully chosen to support academic work. Use these resources to locate books, articles, and other resources that you cannot access through the “free web.” Start on the ULS home page to search Internet resources provided by the ULS.

• The “free web” is a great place to look for factual and introductory information

and for some types of images. Note, however, that only about 6% of the “free web” is academic in nature. Much of the rest of what is on the Internet is commercial or personal.

• Sites on the “free web” vary greatly in quality and must be critically evaluated.

While books and journals are usually reviewed for substance and accuracy before they are published, anyone can create a web site that says anything at all. Evaluate each web site and choose the best ones for your work. For more on this topic see the ULS web site entitled Surfing the Cyber Library http://www.library.pitt.edu/guides/eval/

• Use search engines to search the “free web.” Each search engine has strengths

and weaknesses and will produce different results. None effectively searches the entire web. Try using more than one search engine for your searches. Use an “advanced search” mode to do more flexible searching.

Evaluating Information

• Printed Information – See Library Guide No. 47 entitled Art History:

Evaluating Information. Copies of it are available in the Frick Fine Arts Library. • Internet – Begin at the ULS Home Page (address below) and click on USE THE

LIBRARIES, then click on EVALUATING WEB INFORMATION: SURFING THE CYBER LIBRARY (an online resource created for students by the ULS).

Navigating the ULS Digital Library www.library.pitt.edu

Login: Pitt User Name and Password ULS Digital Library includes over 400 databases that are available for your use with your Pitt User Name and Password 24/7 from dorm, office, or home.

Connecting From Home or Dorm Room You can connect from home to the ULS Digital Library and search the online databases to which it subscribes by using a web- based service called SSL VPN. Instructions on doing this are provided at a link in the NEWS section of the ULS Digital Library home page. Click on “Accessing Library Resources from Off Campus.” No special software is required. If you have problems connecting with SSL VPN, please contact Pitt’s Technology Department help line at 412-624-HELP (4357) for assistance. NOTE: If you do not connect to SSL-VPN, you will not be able to access any databases to which the ULS subscribes! Part of the fees you pay to attend Pitt pays for the databases, so you will want to put them to good use during your research projects.

Introduction

This bibliography is highly selective and is intended only as a guide to follow when beginning the research process. All items listed are either in the Frick Fine Arts Library or Hillman Library, but one must also note whether the title is in the Reading, Reference Room, or stacks of the Frick Fine Arts Library or the Reference Department (Ground floor) of Hillman Library.

Gathering Information Two important words of advice:

1. Throughout the research process it is essential that you record the complete citations as you find them. Incomplete citations will cause you to spend additional time attempting to locate them later!

2. In addition, when doing research in the field of art and architectural history, it

is also essential to keep track of where illustrations are located. Illustrations are not indexed well and keeping a record of where they are located will save you the time of trying to find them again after you decide you want to use some in your term paper.

Creating Your Working Bibliography It is important to create a working bibliography while you search for materials.

• E-mail, save to a disk / flash drive or printout the class reserves list • E-mail, save to a disk / flash drive or printout Pitt Cat records; or use the

BookBag feature of “My Account” in Pitt Cat to keep a list of citations of interest. • E-mail, save to a disk / flash drive or printout citations for journal articles in

databases • Fully explore footnotes and/or bibliographies in encyclopedia articles, books on

reserve, books found in Pitt Cat, essays and journal articles

Page 4: Art History: Photography and Film€¦ · Art History: Photography and Film Library Guide No. 7 "Qui scit ubi scientis sit, ille est proximus habenti." Brunetiere* Before Beginning

• Keep a list of where illustrations are located that you may want to use in your written paper

Gathering Introductory Information

When beginning research on a topic with which one is unfamiliar, it is sometimes wise to look for background information. This can be accomplished by using specialized dictionaries and encyclopedias as a starting point for research. Their function is two-fold:

• To present introductory information clearly and concisely; articles are written by scholars in the field

• To lead the reader to further sources of information (by using the bibliographies at the end of each article)

Encyclopedias Abrams Encyclopedia of Photography. Ed. By Brigitte Govignon. New York: Harry N. Abrams, 2004. Frick – Reference – TR9/P4813/2004

Includes sections on the history of photography, photography since the 1960s and photography today, as well as biographies of photographers, including some contemporary people.

Encyclopedia of Aesthetics. Ed. by Michael Kelly. 4 vols. New York: Oxford University Press, 1998. Frick – Reference – Dictionaries and Encyclopedias – BH56/E53/1998

Includes several useful articles providing introductory information. See, for example, the articles on “Contemporary Art,” “Appropriation,” “Computer Art,” “Conceptual Art,” “Digital Media,” “Film,” “Installation Art,” “Performance Art,” and “Photography.”

Encyclopedia of Twentieth Century Photography. Ed. by Lynne Warren. 3 vols. New York: Routeldge, 2006. Frick – Reference – Dictionaries and Encyclopedias – TR642/E5/2005

Includes lengthy articles on individual photographers, movements and techniques including: Photography in Africa: An Overview, Photography in China and Taiwan, Feminist Photography, History of Photography, Photography in Japan, Modernism, Postmodernism, and others.

Grove Dictionary of Art. Available for you to search yourself at any electronic device in ULS libraries. Begin at FIND ARTICLES, go to the right of the screen and click on “Particular Database,” then click the first letter of the title of the database, finally, click the database title.

This recent full-text encyclopedia for the field of art and architecture provides articles under the names of individual countries, including those in Africa and Asia (i.e., Central Asia, China, et al); different types of art (i.e. photography, experimental film, video art and others); biographies of individual artists and architects; and articles on

Page 5: Art History: Photography and Film€¦ · Art History: Photography and Film Library Guide No. 7 "Qui scit ubi scientis sit, ille est proximus habenti." Brunetiere* Before Beginning

5

art schools and concepts. The articles and bibliographies have been written by art and architectural historians around the world. All of the information is current and updated periodically. Grove’s is particularly good for biographies on all but the most obscure artists -- and it is written in English, unlike many biographical resources on artists. NOTES: Each article includes information on “How to Cite the Article” (scroll to the bottom of the article). While this database now places illustrations within recently written articles, when the database was first created, the images were located at a separate Links button and then search by subject or artist’s name.

International Dictionary of Films and Filmmakers. 3rd ed., 4 vols. Detroit: St. James Press, 1997. Hillman Library – Reference – At Desk – PN1997.8/I58/1997; note that the 4th ed. (2000) is available online via NetLibrary)

Biographical Resources Often emerging artists and photographers have not yet been published in a book or an exhibition catalog. It may, therefore, be necessary to search for published interviews with the individual.

Remember to consult encyclopedias listed above, especially Grove’s Dictionary of Art.

Artist’s Biographies, 1001.org http://www.the-artists.org/

An Internet site that offers biographies and portraits of the major 20th century and contemporary visual artists.

Selected Surveys of Contemporary Photography There is no doubt that photography and film have emerged as an important field of contemporary photographic art. A gap has developed between the classical position of photography and contemporary work has increased due to digital images, the Internet and other technologies. In addition, many contemporary artists develop their practices across different media (from painting to photography to film and multimedia).

Lesy, Michael. Dreamland: America at the Dawn of the Twentieth Century. New York: New Press, 1997. Hillman Library – E168/L47/1997

At the edge of the 20th century, William Henry Jackson – the most renowned Western landscape photographer of his day – joined the Detroit Publishing Company to produce postcard images of the United States, using the most advanced technology available. Eventually, the photographs and negatives were deposited in the Library of Congress and the Colorado Historical Society, creating an incomprable archive of American life in the first decade of that century.
