There is a monthly charge for this library. I wish I could afford the money and the time to read some of what I found here. Great resource. I did a search for one of photography's great artists, and one of my favorites, — Paul Strand. It came up with 75 books, 22 journal articles, 18 magazine articles, 3 newspaper articles, and 1 encyclopedia article. All the sources are available to be read in full. Cool!
