Building Materials and COVID-19

The Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals is the only database to focus exclusively on topics in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, and historic preservation. Click the search button below to open a pop-up with a search for the term "COVID-19."

OneSearch can be used to find articles and books pertinent to COVID-19 and the built environment. You can narrow your search by selecting "Architecture" as a discipline. You can also perform very broad searches by searching keywords such as "COVID-19 AND built environment." Both are shown below. Books and articles not held by Ball State Libraries can be obtained through Interlibrary Loan. 

MEDLINE, otherwise known as PubMed, was created by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and is the premier index of medical journal articles. Occasionally the full text of articles can be found. Some records have a "Full text links" area to right of the abstract within the database which will help locate the article text. Note that the same content can be found using MEDLINE EBSCOhost which is also on the databases page. MEDLINE EBSCOhost has some linked full text and Find It @ BALL STATE, which will help you locate the full text, either online from another source, in print, or via Interlibrary Loan.
