Top 3 Links:
Centre
for Research in Art and
Design at Gray's
School of Art in Aberdeen have students from sculpture to
graphics and are doing much development and training
work.
Birmingham
Institute of Art &
Design are more
design than fine art but produce good print and net
materials on the Research
Training Initiative.
University
of Wales Institute, Cardiff: Fine Art
Research good
examples of research-in-progress with an open and quirky
site approach.

are like bulletin boards on the Internet where special

discuss. Often good for news of conferences
etc.)

leading art and design research
centres
(see also 'Top 3'.
Many universities have web sites where it is almost
impossible to find out what art research is/was going on,
or to find contacts for the researchers. If your
institution has recently improved its site, let me know.
If they haven't, lobby!)

How
to do research: (see
also
art-specific
research training sessions)
General
Sunderland
University's Research Student Training
modules (not
art-specific) are now on the web, and include
worksheets on time management, ethics, etc. The web
modules cover only some of the live modules with real
people which are listed in the Research
Student Training Programme
Catalogue.
There's also a Telematics
course and
IT
Training.
News of the School's
additional art-specific
research training
sessions are
emailed to students. Some of the sessions are now also
documented on
the web,
accessed with your student password. These documents
are useful for revision and reference but should not
be seen as a replacement for attending the
sessions.
Birmingham
Institute of Art &
Design produce
good print and Internet materials as part of the
Research
Training Initiative.
Dissertation
Abstracts Online
Searchable lists with titles and abstracts all theses
accepted for higher degrees at universities in Great
Britain and Ireland from 1970. Sunderland University
IS an 'organisation with a subscription' so you can go
straight to that option if you're connecting from the
Uni.
UMI:
Online Dissertation
Services
USA-based searchable and downloadable graduate theses.
Without a subscription you can access the most recent
2 years. To search the entire database of more than
1.6 million titles (titles since 1997 are available in
PDF digital format and have 24 page previews
available), you will need to connect from a
subscription institution.
ARIAD:
Art and Design Research Database NOW
ON-LINE
UK (and Australia) database of completed research,
including lists of supervisors, but can be rather
patchy. (In Ashburne Library on CD, as well as
on-line).
Arts
Research Digest
UK publication and database partially on the web.
Mostly arts management research but growing in
other areas.
