Book usually address topics more broadly than articles, so consider searching for the geographic region and era, for example: Ancient Greek art, and then using the book's index or table of contents to find information more specifically related to your topic.

Select 'Request Item' to have books from other NOVA libraries sent to Loudoun for pick up.
