Reviews

Jones brings order to the vast, unorganized mass of art information on the World Wide Web. . . . The organization and level of detail set a standard for similar works in other disciplines.
Choice
-
Quite detailed, substantive, and very well organized, this book fills a gap in the literature. . . . The result is highly successful in bringing attention to peripheral yet still very relevant art resources such as cultural and civic group sites, guides to foundations and granting institutions, and information on auction sales and appraisals. . . . An essential guide for all art history researchers, this also would be suitable for all public, special and academic libraries with art history collections.

This book is exactly what it claims, a complete 'how to' guide--and is absolutely packed with information. There is something for every level of art and technological ability, interest, and objective.

[S]uperb guide. . . . [I]t informs the process of art-related research well beyond the scope of simply connecting to Internet sites. . . . [H]ighly recommended. . . . [T]his well-written and structured resource will serve as an excellent guide to art-related research on the Internet.
Internet Reference Services Quarterly

[H]ighly recommended for all types of art libraries as ready-reference. Students and novices to the Internet and digital technologies will find this book invaluable, and educators will want to incorporate it into their bibliographic instruction programs.
Visual Resources
-
This is a rich and valuable book for seriou art researchers. . . . [T]he techniques she advances for integrating the Internet with traditional sources can be applied to other subjects: consequently I recommend the book to all scholars.
