Find items beyond Olin's collection in libraries near you with Worldcat.org, then submit an Interlibrary Loan request for the needed materials:
You can also search millions of books, magazines, and newspapers digitized through the Google Books project. Levels of access depend on copyright status and publisher permissions--so you may find a citation, snippet, limited view, or full text. Best used for electronic access to books in the public domain (i.e., works published before 1924).
To find exhibition catalogues for individual artists, include the word exhibition with the name of the artist. For example:
Calle exhibition
or
"Sophie Calle" exhibition
This is key: Be sure to use "exhibition" and not "exhibit."
