Digital Design

Our subject guides provide a comprehensive introduction to resources in your subject that are available through the GSA Library. From books to journals, from websites to blogs, our subject guides are the perfect way to get acquainted with high-quality print and electronic resources in your subject.

Books for Digital Design

The GSA Library holds a comprehensive selection of books on digital design. The shelfmarks below will help you when browsing our collection. Be careful not to restrict yourself to just this one section of the Library however - there will be books in other sections that will also be of use to you.

New Books Alert Service

We also offer a New Books Alert Service, which will give you notification of all new art and design books as soon as they are added to stock and available to borrow. You can subscribe via email or RSS.

Reading Lists

Most reading list books are housed in our Temporary Reference collection. They are reference only and cannot be borrowed. The GSA Library Catalogue will indicate if an item is in the reading lists collection. You will need to make a note of the shelfmark and take it to the Library Service Desk where a member of staff will fetch it for you.

Dissertations

We hold copies of all Historical and Critical Studies dissertations going back to 1984. All dissertations are indexed in the GSA Library Catalogue. They are reference only and cannot be borrowed - you will need to make a note of the shelfmark and take it to the Library Service Desk where a member of staff will fetch the dissertation for you.

Journals for Digital Design

The Library subscribes to a number of digital design journals, from Computer Arts to Digital Creativity.

Online Resources for Digital Design

We subscribe to a growing number of electronic databases and online resources, which are designed to supplement the hard copy collections in the Library. Our online resources range from bibliographic databases, to image sites and video, and can even be accessed over the Internet from home.

Some of our resources are accessed through Athens accounts, which are available to all GSA staff and students.

Library Art and Design Blog

Our subject blogs provide a one-stop shop for information on high-quality resources available in your subject through the Library or Web. Because information from all kinds of resources is brought together in a single place, you don’t have to do any detective work yourself, whilst remaining confident that you’re keeping abreast of new and updated content.

We offer a tailored online induction, which is designed to complement face-to-face inductions with your Academic Liaison Librarian. Use our online induction to remind yourself of the services we offer, or to check up on how you can access them.
