ART 100: Olson, J. (Spring 2025) - The Grand Tour: Books & Films

This library guide provides students in Professor Jennifer Olson's Art 100 course with starting points for their research assignments.

Books and films

Books - Once you've found general background information on your topic, it's time to find more in-depth information. One great source of more in-depth information is books. You will need to work with primary sources for your research projects, and below you will find links to online books and poems that are primary source materials.

You will also find a link to the Library Catalog, where you can search for additional books, in both print and electronic formats. In addition, there is information on accessing freely-available HathiTrust and Project Gutenberg e-books.

Films - From your instructor:

You can search for films on your artist. They will give you a general overview, but they should not be the basis of your research paper.
