Research can be a complicated and time-consuming activity. MIAD believes that students need to master research skills and become "information literate" during their course of study. The core competencies of information literacy include the abilities: to identify an information need; to access needed information; to evaluate, manage, and apply the information, and to understand the legal and ethical aspects of information use. Students with these skills will be better prepared not only to succeed in the classroom, but also in the studio, in work settings, in careers, and in continuing self-development. MIAD's information literacy program is embedded throughout the four-year curriculum. Find Articles in Databases
MIAD subscribes to four databases that contain articles from periodicals or encyclopedias. Two general-interest databases are ProQuest and EBSCO Academic Search Elite; these include articles from journals, magazines and newspapers, some of which include the full-text of the article. The Scientific American Online database contains all the articles published in Scientific American since 1996 in full-color pdf format. Grove’s Dictionary of Art Online is the electronic version of the 34-volume Dictionary of Art encyclopedia. Useful Web Resources Career Resources
