Bibliography of the History of Art / International Bibliography of Art
Grades: All | Subject(s): Art | Overall rating: 9
The Getty Research Institute sponsors the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA) and the Répertoire international de la littérature de l'art (RILA). This bibliographical resource combines material found with in both the BHA and RILA covers information related to art published between 1975 and 2007 for no charge.
The BHA/RILA resource can be searched by subject, artist, author, article title, journal title, publication date, and other elements. When you enter the site, you are presented with a basic search bar and a link to an advanced search option.
My favorite painting is Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. So for this assignment, I searched for the keyword sky to see if I could find any information about other paintings featuring a beautiful sky. The BHA/RILA returned 292 search items. One of the items returned was titled Spirit in the Sky, and that is also one of my favorite songs, so I clicked on it. It was a reference to an article, and the title, source title, author, contributors, type, publisher, creation date, summary, language, subjects, and classifications were all listed. The subjects and classifications were all hyperlinked. I clicked on the subject word painting and found 163,036 more search results. I could filter the search results by author, subject, language, resource types, and creation date. I could also add the page to my e-shelf if I create an account or email, print cite, or link the document. I could also export the information to EndNote or RefWorks, or add a bookmark to the Delicious bookmarking service.
I think this resource would be helpful to art majors or people interested in art history, research, or publications. I assign a value of 9 to the resource. I believe that it could be improved by providing some additional information about how to best use the site.
