Tip: Use the Journal Search in Omni to see if Queen's Library subscribes to the journal art bulletin. Omit initial articles (the, an, a), if any. Ignore punctuation and case.
Using the Journal Search in Omni is the best way to find out our journal holdings, since not all years are covered in both formats.
