[Yulpub] Design Abstracts Retrospective Available

[Hannah Bennett]

Hello Everyone -

We now have access to the long-awaited Design 
Abstracts Retrospective (1903-1986). 
http://exlib1.library.yale.edu:8331/V/4JV9DCE6YJKLPNX5FKSVDQA6E8TM19QSGQC6I3UKXYF5AIIGHM-17609?func=find-db-1-title&mode=titles&scan_start=DAR&search_type=contains&restricted=all

Design Abstracts Retrospective (DAR), the 
retrospective of Design and Applied Arts Index, 
provides broad, international coverage on a wide 
range of subjects in the fields of design. This 
database includes a particular emphasis on 
European publications.  DAR provides coverage of 
more than 100 design and design-related journals 
most of which have ceased publication, but which 
are distinctly important to the development of 
design concepts in the early 20th century. DAR 
contains more than 24,000 abstracts and is 
updated quarterly, with 15,000 records added per 
year. In addition, access to Design ProFILES™ 
(DP) is included in the subscription; this is the 
largest collection of profiles of designers and 
design organizations of its kind.

Coverage is from 1903 through 1986 with limited 
coverage from the late nineteenth century.  Since 
we have DAR through CSA, DAR can be 
cross-searched alongside the Design and Applied 
Arts Index which begins coverage in 1986 and continues through today.
