Description
Book SynopsisAccess to dissertations and theses is becoming increasingly easier as a result of digitalization projects such as UMI''s Current Research, which at the present time provides full-text access to dissertations published after 1996. However, access to retrospective titles continues to prove difficult. This bibliography addresses some of the limitations of Dissertation Abstracts, especially in uncovering works below the doctoral level and those produced in Canada''s French-language universities. While Canadian research is accessible by title and keyword through the National Library of Canada''s checklists, covering the period from 1821 onwards, there are few existing publications that provide abstracts. Existing annotated bibliographies in the field of fine arts in Canada merely cover dissertations written prior to 1981. This book identifies 1765 theses or dissertations dealing with Canadian art or built architecture in Canada, excluding studio projects and works on landscape architectur
Trade ReviewCanadian Art and Architechture: An Annotated Bibliography of Theses and Dissertations is a welcome addition to reference materials covering Canadian scholarship in art and architecture. It is highly recommended for all academic libraries and larger libraries with comprehensive art and architecture collections. * American Reference Books Annual *
