About Berg Fashion Library

‌      It is always a little overwhelming when you start to research an assignment.  Wouldn't it be useful if you could go to a single online resource which would bring together books, journals and images?  A resource that would give you access to more than 60 fashion eBooks, major fashion journals (Fashion Theory, Fashion Practice and Textile), and a colour image bank of over 7,000 images, on campus or off?  With the ability to do keyword searches over all that material and to focus on a particular subject?  Welcome to the Berg Fashion Library - our new online resource - which provides all of this and more.
The Berg Fashion Library is a unique resource which provides a 'one stop shop' for academic information, not only in the area of fashion, but also anthropology, art history, museum studies, history and cultural studies.
