My major is Architectural engineering so i chose ARTstor OFF-CAMPUS and Academic Search Complete (EBSCOhost). ARTstor OFF-CAMPUS is more convenient for me since it includes almost 550,000 images in the areas of art, architecture, the humanities, and social sciences with a set of tools to view, present, and manage images for research and pedagogical purposes. Architecture is more of designs and visual presentations of various techniques to implement in the process of architectural design. It is also accessable from outside campus which is even better; since most of the architectural work is done in group meetings for late hours outside campus. However, the link for faster access is valid only in campus. Other than that it is an extremely reliable source for those who are majoring in architecture or art for several reasons. Looking at the pictures in that specific database helps in the process of inspiration or even refining one’s idea or concept regarding designing an Architectural work. While, most of the other databases have articles without enough visual images which is not often the best solution for architectural processes.
