Some suggested search terms to use for government/politics papers:
KEYWORD SEARCH your artist in Tejano Library Search to see biographical information and links to articles and books on their style and work. Limit by article or book/e-book. There are other databases also that specialize in certain topics.
Hint: Click on ADVANCED SEARCH to limit your search to subject, author, and other possibilities.
Hint for print books: If your painting is mentioned inside the book, you may not find that fact online, but you can find it by checking the index in the back of the book and/or do a google books search and see if there are preview pages on your painting (or if it's a book we have at our libraries but didn't come up in your first search)
REFINE YOUR SEARCH (if needed)
