Welcome!

Welcome to the Art Research Guide. This guide will help you find resources that will give you inspiration for your assignments while at ECU. It will also help you cite any works you use to give proper credit to the original artist. The tabs are arranged by the way you will search for these works, for instance, in books, on the web, and in library databases. If you need help, please Ask a Librarian!

Get Inspired!
