Brian Dettmer's Amazing Carved Book Sculptures!

Wow this artist really makes some amazing book sculptures. If you do something like this please let me know! I can post your work too if you want. Also, the library is often weeding books and indexes so if you want any of them for making book sculptures, please contact me.

Large print indexes and catalogs up for grabs for projects!

We are throwing out hundreds of old large size indexes, catalogs, and other large bound materials at the library. If you want any of them for projects please let us know ASAP so you can make arrangements for picking them up as we don’t deliver.

Please pass this on to other art & design faculty and/or students. You or anyone interested can contact me at ts20@txstate.edu

Finding Currently Received Print Art and Photo Periodicals in the Library

Hello out there. I noticed the other day that there isn't a very easy way to check our catalog or periodical list to see which current art or photography magazines, journals, and other periodicals that we have here in the library. So I figured out a long way to find them and I made a list for you.

You can find these currently received periodicals on the 3rd floor shelved alphabetically by title on the metal shelves to the left of Reserve, Periodicals & Media desk or some are in the Wittliff Collections. You just need to ask the staff in the Wittliff Collections to get the magazine or journal that you want to look at and they will get it for you.

Click on the links to see the location of the current periodical, 3rd floor or Wittliff. You can use the call numbers on the linked catalog record if you want to look at an issue of one of these titles that is older that the past 1 or 2 years. You can find those in the stacks at the call number listed, on the 3rd floor, back to 1980. If the year of the issue you want is older than 1980, it will be where the call number listed is usually found in the library on the 5th, 6th, or 7th floors.

For a detailed table with titles, links to catalog records, location, and description of each title you can download the Currently Received Art and Photo Periodicals with Descriptions PDF.
