This guide contains library resources supporting research in the Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication (ATEC). Explore books and ebooks, journals, databases, and more.
The library recommends the following databases for the latest research on topics in ATEC. They span an extensive gamut of disciplines: art, art history, computer science, social science, media studies, human-technology interactions, game studies, cultural studies, philosophy, and more.
Because no single resource can cover the myriad topics found under the ATEC umbrella, we recommend using more than one of the following for your research.
JSTOR is a digital library of academic journals, books, and primary sources, with a broad variety of coverage in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, spanning more than 50 disciplines. Collections on JSTOR include the complete archival records of thousands of journal titles.

Project MUSE provides full-text access to hundreds of journals and ebooks in the humanities and social sciences from 1993 to current. Beginning in 2025, some Project Muse journals will benefit from a Subscribe 2 Open (S2O) program. Journals that are part of the program and that reach a sustainability threshold, as determined by Project Muse, will have articles converted to open access at no additional cost.
Learn more about S2O here. Questions about this program can be sent to Davin Pate at djp130330@utdallas.edu.
