Collections in the Barr Smith and other libraries
The Barr Smith Library holds a more than adequate collection of books,
journals and reference tools on art, but for in-depth research it may be
necessary to consult the libraries of Adelaide's other two universities,
Flinders and University of South Australia (Underdale campus), both of
which have very good art collections. The State Library also often holds
useful titles.
All their catalogues can be consulted from
here and reciprocal
borrowing can be arranged.
Journals not held by the BSL can be located on the database
Serials
in Australian Libraries (SIAL),
where any location beginning with an S is a South Australian location.
The Library of
the Art Gallery of South Australia should be consulted as a last
resort.
