17. E-Mail and Sites on the Web
Once you have your "UNI" account, allowing you to use Columbia University's email server, you can then gain access within the Columbia University Libraries website to many resources inaccessible on the open web. Among these are indexes such as Art Index, Avery Index, Bibliography of the History of Art, encyclopedias such as Grove Dictionary of Art, Encyclopedia Britannica Online, full text resources such as LEXIS/NEXIS, Proquest Historical Newspapers, JSTOR, Project Muse, and hundreds of other internet resources for which we pay considerably more than a million dollars per year. Again, please realize that you will not be able to access most of these materials if you try to get to them through an open web search (e.g. Google, Yahoo, etc.).
On the other hand, here are several very extensive resources for Art History on the Web:
