Photography: Finding Photography Books

A Guide to Crossett's Special Collections in Photography

Finding books and more at Crossett Library and beyond

You can now search all of our resources using a single, comprehensive search box. This tool searches across our physical collections at Crossett and Jennings Music Libraries, as well as journals, articles, and other materials available through our databases. To narrow your results, you can use filters to limit by material type (e.g., books or DVDs), location (e.g., Crossett only), language, date range, or even full-text and peer-reviewed items.

Search the library catalog, databases, journals & articles.

 

Find Resources at Other Libraries

If you find a title in Worldcat that is not held by Bennington College, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan by clicking on the "Request Item" button. Your book will be shipped from the lending library to Crossett Library, and you will receive an e-mail when it is ready for pickup.

Interlibrary loan access is included in your library account, and can be accessed here.
