Library Catalogs
Here are a sample of some online library catalogs of particular use to researchers in art history.
NOTE: Butler Reference has collected many printed dictionary catalogs of national libraries, e.g. Catalogue général de la Bibliothèque nationale de France and the British Library General Catalogue. (As of 2011, however, few records for these printed catalogs can be found in CLIO. Please visit Butler Reference to discover what is owned. Many of these printed catalogs have been partially converted into online catalogs, but, like Columbia University Library’s catalog, few have been 100% converted.)
