Architecture and Urban Design Library Blog: May 2016

New journal requests for 2016

If you know of a journal that will help support the research, teaching and learning needs of the school, please let me (Tristan) know. If possible, include the courses/programs the journal will support.

I can't provide a list of what we already have access to as most are scattered across online databases nowadays. A quick search in LibrarySearch will help determine if we have it already. If in doubt please contact me.

Also, if there are other resources you think the library should subscribe to such as online journal/video/image databases -- e.g., Archivision -- please let me know.

Research through design

"RTD supports the dissemination of practice-based research through a novel and experimental conference format, comprising a curated exhibition of design research, accompanied by round-table discussions in ‘Rooms of Interest’. The exhibition will be used as a platform for presenting and demonstrating research processes and outputs, and for generating debate on the role of the design practitioner and their work in a research context.
