Try Arts: Search (formerly designinform) to research into the history of modern art and design

designinform changed its name to Arts: Search
Given the increased digitization of a wide range of fine art and architecture journals, it was felt that the title designinform, with its apparent emphasis on design, did not fully represent the scope and coverage of the database.

Arts: Search is an invaluable resource for research into the history of modern arts, architecture and design. It consists of three linked databases: 

ReVIEW  - digitized, searchable versions of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century art journals

Arts + Architecture ProFILES (AAP) – a biographical dictionary of modern artists, designers, architects, craftspeople and photographers

Design Abstracts Retrospective (DAR) – a retrospective journal abstracting and indexing service

To access Arts: Search go to http://www.lib.umich.edu/database/link/11265 or search for Arts: Search from any MLibrary webpage and click on the link under databases.
