When searching for information on a specific architect or building it is important to plan your search. Take time to consider the most likely places for the information you need; there are some important questions to consider for each search noted below. Reference books may also help you develop useful search terms and inform you of how well known the architect or building is which will also influence how easy it is to research.
The search tools listed down the right column should help you identify journal articles to read, though remember that the references found via the RIBA catalogue and the Design and Applied Arts Index may not be available in full text via the library - you can double check availability using SUPrimo. The Library Collections tab will tell you if we subscribe to a specific journal and what years are available - older items will be in print on Level 1. The Articles + databases tab will help you to search for individual articles rather than the journal titles.
For further help pop by the enquiry desk on Level 4.
The reference collection on Level 1 in the library contains texts which may help your research. These cannot be borrowed but you may use them anywhere in the library building, as well as scanning or photocopying extracts to refer back to later.
