Researching From a Distance

Online Resources 
Distance Education students have access to the following online resources:

  • BAC Library Catalog
    The BAC Library’s online catalog lets you search for books, BAC theses, maps, plans, codes and other print material owned by the library. You can renew your books online through your library account. You will need your BAC ID to access your account.

  • Online Databases
    The Library subscribes to databases where you can find journal and magazine articles concerning architecture, art, interior design and more. A complete list and description of these databases can be found on our Databases & Indexes page. In order to access these databases, you must use your BAC username and password login (this should be the same as your login for ANGEL).

  • Digital Image Collections
    The BAC Visual Resources Library maintains the BAC Digital Images Collection which provides images of architecture, furniture, interiors, and drawings. The Library also subscribes to Grove Art Online, an online encyclopedia which provides links to excellent online image collections. Access to these image collections, as well as others, can be found in the Digital Images section of our Databases & Indexes page.

  • Online Reference Sources
    The Library provides online versions of the Chicago Manual of Style, the Oxford English Dictionary, Encyclopedia Britannica, and Grove Art. Links to these resources can be found in the Reference section of our Databases & Indexes page.
