DOC can be searched for information on the campus's library holdings in a number of different ways. Searching by author will result in a list of everything Winthrop owns by that author. Searching by title will result in the location of a specific item. A search by subject will locate materials on general or specific topics.
The topic area of Arts Administration is broad, and encompasses the areas commonly referred to as the visual and performing arts, as well as cultural institutions/property of all types, such as art museums, historical societies, and nature preserves. Materials dealing with these areas can be found under some of the subject headings given below.
