NYSID Library's subscription to EBSCO includes the following three major databases: Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals, GreenFile, and Art & Architecture Source. Combined, it provides you with access to full-text articles of over 600 journals. Although many of the records in the Avery Index are citations only (i.e., not full-text articles), it is very likely that either NYSID's Library or NYU's Bobst Library may have the print versions of the journals quoted in the citations. The Library can also issue a METRO pass to our users for consulting a particular book or journal in the Avery Library of Columbia University.
When searching EBSCOhost, you can simply use the search term "restaurant design" to retrieve more than 1,700 articles on restaurant design. To narrow your search, you can add keywords to your Boolean search specific to your project/research topics, such as "restaurant design" AND "fusion," or "restaurant design" AND "France."
Architectural Record is an excellent place to find articles on the industry's most current and high-profile projects. You can access the magazine from home or campus by logging onto ResourceSpace: NYSID's Digital Media Collections and using your NYSID username and password.
Once you're logged into ResourceSpace, click on the Academic Resources collection and then click on the Online Access to Architectural Record collection. Here you will find a guide on how to login and use the Architectural Record and the archive.
