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 Sculpture
The Library subscribes to a number of sculpture journals, from Design Journal to Engineering.
Online Resources for Sculpture
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.
Intute Visual Arts, the subject gateway for quality Internet resources has also produced a guide to the best websites and online resources in Visual Arts.
Intute Guide: Visual Arts
Intute has produced Internet for Art and Design, a guide to searching and evaluating quality Internet resources in art and design.
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.
