Search the following UNT Libraries journal databases for journal articles on designers and architects and their works, and interior design and architecture topics. EbscoHost database allows you to search 100+ databases at once, including Art and Architecture Source, Design and Applied Arts Index, etc. Many contemporary designers do not have books published about them; therefore, the best information can usually be found in journals.

JSTOR provides access to archived backfiles of journals in the arts and sciences, business, language and literature, science, ecology and botany, and music: over 2,000 academic journals, dating back to the first volume ever published, along with thousands of monographs and other relevant materials. Users can access the full-text content beginning with the first volume of each journal although recent volumes may or may not be included, depending on the agreement between JSTOR and publishers of the journal in question. As a result, some titles may lag behind in terms of JSTOR coverage. Content may date back to 1890, up to present-day.
