CCS Bard Library List of Digital Resources (COVID-19)

We developed this list of subscription and open-access digital resources for art research in response to the closure of our physical space and the need for remote access during the COVID-19 pandemic. For additional help navigating these resources, or for any trouble accessing subscription resources, please do not hesitate to reach out to CCS Bard library staff at ccslib@bard.edu for assistance. We’re here to help!

Bard e-books: now searchable via the CCS Bard Catalog. To isolate this material, you can do an advanced search and select “E-books” in the Resource Type facet then pair with additional search terms.
