Modern Architecture & Design II: Journal and Magazine Articles

Library databases such as EBSCO and JSTOR give you access to thousands of articles from architecture and design magazines and scholarly journals.  You'll find articles about the careers of architects and designers, and analyses of significant buildings, interiors and movements. Since journal and magazine articles are published more frequently than books, you may find articles about a particular project published when it was first completed, as well as articles written many years later, from an historical perspective.  In both EBSCO and JSTOR databases, articles can be downloaded as pdf's or printed. 

Quick tip for narrowing down your results in JSTOR:  

• From the home page, go directly to the Advanced Search option.  Towards the bottom of the page, find the "Narrow By" and "Item Type" and click on "Articles".   From here you can enter a keyword to complete your search.  This will ensure that your results will only be journal articles, as opposed to other parts of the digitized journals such as Tables of Contents, and short book reviews.  
  
  

A note about EBSCO: 

EBSCO provides access to the Avery Index (associated with Columbia University's Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library) is the most comprehensive indexing on architecture in the world. It indexes hundreds of architecture journals. This resource links to both full text and indexed content (meaning, you may not be able to access the article, but you can use the catalog record to see if NYSID or another local library carries that magazine and issue). However it's important to know that the depth of architectural research within the Avery Index cannot be matched anywhere else.
