Archives and collections are an outstanding resource for the study of art, design, architecture and art education and comprise a wide range of material from School records to architectural drawings, textile pieces, plasters casts and furniture including the nationally recognised Mackintosh Collection.

InfosmART
InfosmART is the Glasgow School of Art Library's portfolio of online interactive modules in information and research skills, specifically designed for creative practitioners. It has been produced for the learning, teaching and research communities in art, design and architecture, and helps artists and designers to develop and improve their research capabilities and information handling, at either undergraduate, postgraduate or research levels. It does this through an easy-to-follow 5-step programme: Define, Find, Evaluate, Cite and Use.In 2010, InfosmART was recognised at the Times Higher Education Leadership and Management Awards, where its development team was named Outstanding Library Team of the Year. In 2011, its lead developer was named Information Literacy Practitioner of the Year for his work on the resource.

InfosmART has now been released for free non-commercial use and adaptation under Creative Commons licensing (see link on left).A Tutor's Toolkit is also available on the site, helping academics to integrate InfosmART into their teaching.
