An effective way to find resources on your topic of interest is to perform a SUBJECT search in catalog (http://uclid.uc.edu/search/x) for:
Art Art 16th century Art 19th century Art Africa (or any country name) Art, American (or other culture) Art -- history Art, classical Art deco etc.
You may also search an artist as a SUBJECT: last name, first name
If you find no materials on your topic through a SUBJECT search, you can do KEYWORD searches using key concepts. From the results, identify an item or two that is most relevant to your topic; look at the item record and identify the subject heading that best represents your selected concept. Click on the subject heading to see additional items and/or note it for later searching.
You may limit your location to Clermont. However, be aware that this limit would eliminate electronic books and resources from the results.
