This is an overview of some of the resources available to you and your students in our library. The emphasis of this overview is online resources, which are readily updated and can be accessed from your office or home computer. Many of them are freely accessible. Please don't think this is a replacement of our print collection; the two collections complement each other. We have included blogs and podcasts as well as image collections, databases, and links to some museum and art school library catalogs. We have also included a section of Boston-specific resources, to assist you in staying updated on local events, and some career resources.
We do our best to make sure we link to current information. Please note that the blog aggregators may include closed blogs.
We welcome our newest resource section, Apps, currently in beta. Any feedback on mobile applications pertaining to studio art resources is encouraged.
We encourage you to post your class syllabus online. We are piloting a program to have syllabi added as a library resource, and that information will help the librarians better understand your instructional emphasis and student needs, as well as being a resource for future faculty.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to email artlibrary@simmons.edu.
