Of course, I still use many print ref. sources for auction prices. I cannot afford to acquire all the current online databases for such access nor can I justify it. I do occasionally contact the Indianapolis Museum of Art Library if our local sources are not adequate or recommend that a patron do so. BJ B. J.

How many of you use electronic tools (auction databases, etc.) instead? If so, which do you use most frequently? Your help is much appreciated.
