Art Full Text on CD-ROM H.W. Wilson has announced that the full text of 86 leading periodicals in a wide range of specialties in art is now available to researchers as part of Art Full Text, a new H.W. Wilson database. The database builds on Wilson s Art Abstracts, and delivers abstracting and indexing of a total of 378 periodicals, in addition to the full text. The database is also updated weekly on WilsonWeb and monthly on Wilson Tape. Sources published in French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Dutch are covered by the database, in addition to English-language publications. The Committee on Wilson Indexes of the ALA s Reference and User Services Association advises the editorial staff on coverage decisions.
Coverage encompasses every full article in each of the periodicals included.
Besides data from periodicals, users will find information from important yearbooks and select museum bulletins. Indexing of art reproductions in the periodicals covered even when used to illustrate articles or advertisements helps researchers track down reproductions of any work of interest, or study the body of work of an artist. Art specialties covered by the database include advertising art, antiques, archaeology, architecture, architectural history, art history, computers in art, crafts, decorative arts, fashion, folk art, graphic arts, industrial design, interior design, landscape architecture, motion pictures, museology, painting, photography, pottery, sculpture, television, textiles, and video.
