Real Client Assignment- Preliminary Research Report/ Bibliography

Jennifer Dibbern • Emporia State University • 11/10

Background:

To find the majority of the information listed in this report, I used three different

methods. Firstly, I conducted some of my research through the William Allen

White Library database search. I focused primarily in the Arts & Humanities

Search, JSTOR and the Wilson OmniFile Full Text databases. Secondly, I

attempted a search in Dialog. I did come up with a few sources, though only one

was usable. Lastly, I used the web to conduct a broad search for miscellaneous

publications that I may have missed in my database searches. The publications I

found on the web, I followed up by conducting another library search. I mostly

did this to see if those publications were attainable from other reputable places. I

also searched the web for actual Indian museum sites that I assumed could be

helpful to my client. I have also used the Denver Art Museum library and the

Denver Public Library as other information resources.

During my search for museum information, I was finding information on

Indian archives, information accessibility and galleries. I informed my client that I

was finding this information and asked if she would like it as well. She said she

would, so I have included it here. Also I am still waiting to hear back from some

researchers in the field, as to any information they can provide on the subject.
