Tips
In case of an article: if you did not find a full text, did you already check Google Scholar (with UBU link) through the library’s website?
In case of a book: if you did not find an online version of the book, you can check at http://utrechtuniversity.on.worldcat.org if the library has access to an electronic version of the book. Did you find an electronic version now?
DISCLAIMER: Although it might sound unbelievable for those who grew up in a digitalised world, sometimes, in particular if it concerns older publications, no online texts are available (yet). In this case always check the Utrecht Library collection in WorldCat to see if the text is available in printed form.
Check 'Reference Management using Zotero' for support on adding titles to Zotero.
To do
Is the title information complete? Does it contain all the details required for references adhering to the Chicago Manual of Style (log in with your Solis ID)? If not;
Complete the references in the library using the pane on the right to add details.
Does Zotero give you direct access to the publication (if online available)?
Was the pdf of the publication already automatically added to Zotero? If not;
Manually add the pdf's to Zotero so that you now have quick access to all the literature for the course.
If you have time left you can:
Look for information about the following examples of artworks, art events, and art pieces:
The installation “Precious Liquids” (1992) by Louise Bourgeois
The painting “Wall Drawing #1084” by Sol LeWitt
The photograph “Ann en Paolo in de Old Navy, Saint-Germain-des-Prés” (c. 1989) by Ed van der Elsken
The fashion design “Look 33, The Fashion Show Collection” (Fall/Winter 2007-2008) by Viktor & Rolf
The “Rood-blauwe leunstoel” [“Red blue armchair”] (1918) by Gerrit Rietveld
The exhibition “In Praise of Painting: Dutch Masterpieces at The Met” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York
Now check how to reference each of these objects according to the Chicago Manual of Style by using Kate L. Turabian’s A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations or the online Chicago Manual of Style (log in with your Solis ID).
Pick at least 2 of these objects and create an item for them in your Zotero library (NB: click on ‘item type’ in Zotero to select the right type of item), by manually adding all the required bibliographic information.
