For this assignment, you will research an assigned design style and architect or designer and present your findings as a LOOKBOOK.
This guide should help you begin locating this evidence. This guide should help you begin locating this evidence.
If you find a physical book you would like to check out or peruse, you can go to the shelves and get the book yourself, you can ask for help at the desk or from your librarian, or you have the option of requesting the book be pulled and held at the Library Services Desk for you. If you would like someone else to pull the book for you, ensure you are signed into the system in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. You will see the option to "Request" that book under the Get It section of the record.
Google is a vehicle to the open web. While it should not be the only tool in your toolkit, Google can be a great way to learn there are resources available, even if you cannot read the whole thing.
1. Wikipedia--a great place to learn search terms or brainstorm talking points. You can also borrow their references.
2. Many of these architects and designers have made history, and their works may be featured in archives, museums, or libraries across the globe. Try "their name" AND (archive OR museum OR library) AND architect OR designer to see if scholars have been curating this person's works. Do be aware, that even if you find a great collection, that does not ensure it has been digitized. Some materials are only available if you travel to that place.
3. If you have a current (or more current) architect or designer, "their name" AND interview could highlight some excellent pieces on your person. If you start reading them and then get a popup asking you to subscribe to read the rest, this is a great time to reach out to your librarian to see if we have access to this article or can order it.
Ethical considerations: Just as you cite your information sources, be sure to cite your image sources. Giving credit to the right thing to do!
Legal considerations: Do be aware images found in these resources may be subject to Copyright Law. While coursework that stays in your course is often covered under the Fair Use doctrine, images used outside the educational context are subject to copyright restrictions.
Some of the sources you found for Lookbook #1 and #2 will contain images you will also want to utilize in #3 and #4. Keep track of the articles you use from the databases as well as the books you found, so you can relocate and document those images.
Many of the design books in Rod Library include high-quality images. You can pull the books off the shelves and flip through them to determine whether they have mages, or you can look at the record in the library catalog. Scroll down to the About section of the record. The "Format" field will tell you how long the book is, whether there are illustrations (pictures) and whether they are in color. This record shows that not only does this book include color illustrations, but the illustrations are chiefly (mostly) in color. 
Rod Library offers KIC Scanners if you want to make copies of these images and email them to yourself as a PDF. I also recommend the Adobe Scan App, which you can use free right from your phone.
Some web searching will lead you to images (as will a Google Image search). Those images may give additional information for where to locate other sources that aren't easily found with a simple Google search.
For example, the following Bloomberg Business News article contains a great image of Eero Saarinen (and Aline Louchheim Saarinen) and the famous womb chair. What is really great about this image, however, is that it credits an online collection housed in the Smithsonian that is a portal into even more content that may be even more useful.
