Welcome!
Welcome to the MOSAIC Research Guides Main Guide!
Welcome to the Mosaic homepage! Mosaic is a collection of multimedia online resources in support of inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (I.D.E.A.) across the disciplines of art, design, and merchandising. The materials gathered here are meant as open pathways for inquiry and will continue to evolve as we gather feedback and suggestions from researchers, faculty, students, and community members. Research guides have been organized according to creative discipline, location, or theme and can be accessed using the left-hand side tabs. Mosaic is an ongoing collaboration between Indiana University Libraries and the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture, and Design.
