In addition to the online catalog, the Library provides access to several subscription databases, which may be used to locate books, articles, encyclopedia entries, auction sales information, and the like. These databases may be used in person at the Library during regular public hours. Gallery staff may access these directly from their offices with a password - with the exception of Art Index, WorldCat, and the Foundation Directory - which may be obtained through the Library.
