The last of these subject searches retrieves only one result as of this writing. Expand your source pool by performing the same subject searches in WorldCat, a "union catalog" of millions of book holdings from thousands of U.S. libraries. Request books and book chapters not held by Gitenstein Library via interlibrary loan (ILL). Remove "in art" from these subject searches to retrieve many more results.
Also try keyword rather than subject searches, but remember to think carefully about which search terms might retrieve the most useful/relevant results for your project (e.g., "art history" AND disability AND aesthetics).
