Find books using the main search box on the library homepage.

Each book is tagged with subject headings. Click on a subject heading to search for all books tagged with that heading.

Here is an example of a subject heading with two subdivisions:

Europe -- History -- 1815-1848

In this example, the subject heading is "Europe" and the subdivisions are "-- History" and "-- 1815-1848." Subdivisions are optional. You can remove them from the search box to broaden your search.

The simplest way to find journal articles is to use the library search box and limiting your results to "Peer-reviewed journals." That's a good place to start. However, consider searching the history databases as well. I recommend the database Historical Abstracts.
