Benezit Dictionary of Artists via Oxford Art Online platform  (http://libcat1.cc.emory.edu:32888/DB=zvda)

Benezit’s Dictionary of Artists (Woodruff Library Reference N40 .B46 2006), a great resource for finding obscure artists, has been transformed into an online database.   In addition to biographical information, entries include images of artists' signatures, monograms, and stamps, as well as bibliographies, gallery/museum holdings and auction records with prices.  Cross-search with other Oxford Art Online resources, such as Grove Art Online, The Oxford Companion to Western Art, Encyclopedia of Aesthetics, and The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art Terms.

We hope faculty preparing for Spring 2012 classes will visit the Library's Woodruff Course Reserves home page at: http://web.library.emory.edu/services/course-reserves.

It is here you will find Instructions for adding materials to Reserves Direct, submitting a request through EUCLID, downloadable submission forms, Copyright Guidelines, FAQs, Contact Information, and more.

19th Century British Pamphlets is a collection of over 25,000 pamphlets, containing a total of 990,000 pages. According to JSTOR, it represents the “most significant British pamphlets from the 19th century held in UK research libraries.” These pamphlets are an important primary source for British history, covering such topics as politics, health, women’s rights, imperialism and the abolition of slavery, but they also provide valuable insight into philosophical and theological issues of the day.
