What if I don't find an image in Grove?

Go back to the main search menu and click on the Art Image Collections link, and try the other image collections available to you in Grove.

Unfortunately, the search technique described above may not yield images for your search. Grove Art will not contain images for all of its entries. If you would still like an image you may want to try a Web search. In some cases, even suspect Web sites, will contain images that help you visualize the site or item you are researching.

Whatever method you use to find images, remember that you need to cite images just as you would articles, books, and Web sites. The library provides models for citing images in APA and MLA style.
