KAPPE LIBRARY GUIDE no. 56
The Kappe Library Guides identify general resources on broad topics to help researchers begin their work. Individual projects
and practitioners are avoided; guides, indexes and general introductions are preferred to specialized works.
Book citations that include a call number can be found at the Kappe Library; other books are identified by author, title and date.
Magazine articles are selected from the Avery Index and the Art Index databases; to identify which are available at the Kappe
Library, see the Periodicals In the Collection reference.
Web versions of this and all other Guides are available at http://www.sciarc.edu/v5/aboutarch/lrg.php and
