New: Grove Art Online

The Library has subscribed to Grove Art Online - the online equivalent to The Dictionary of Art and The Oxford Companion to Western Art.

"Grove Art Online contains the full-text of The Dictionary of Art (ed. Jane Turner, 1996) — the landmark encyclopedia of world art from prehistory to the present in over 45,000 articles. Since its launch in 1998, Grove Art Online has added over 700 new articles and over 5,500 updated articles.

"Grove Art Online also includes all 2,800 articles from The Oxford Companion to Western Art [OCWA] (ed. Hugh Brigstocke, 2001) and continues to offer new content and revisions on a quarterly basis.

"Grove Art Online offers over 1500 colour images and line drawings; links to the Art Resource searchable image database; and links to over 40,000 images on museum and gallery websites. For copyright reasons, Grove Art Online cannot publish all of the images in the print edition online." - Grove Art Online website
