The Wild, Wild Web: Wherefore Art Thou?

Like a giant Pollock, the Web is an endless canvas of tangled threads and splats. Awesome art resources are there, but it’s not always easy to separate the fluff from the fresco. From high-resolution images to historical timelines and artist biographies, we’re drawing on those resources that librarians have used to successfully help their patrons. Whether students, scholars, artists, or amateur curators, your patrons will benefit from these gallery-ready resources.
