Journals

The three libraries jointly subscribe to approximately 215 journals, in Norwegian, English and other (European) languages. Journals are for use in the library only but may be photocopied. The latest issues are arranged alphabetically by title and kept on open shelves in the libraries, while back issues are kept either underneath the shelves or in the stacks. Ask the librarians if you need older journals.

Bibliographic art databases
The databases ABM and daai (below) register and index the content of many journals the libraries subscribe to. You can use these databases to search for information on artists and their work and on other art related topics. A bibliographic reference often contains an abstract and information on where the article is published. By checking the list of journal holdings you can see if one of the libraries owns the journal you need. You may at any time ask a librarian for help to search the databases or find the correct journal issue.

Most journals are indexed in the following databases:

ARTbibliographies Modern (ABM)
