Tips for Finding Books & Encyclopedias
Encyclopedias and books can provide information about a number of cultures, cultural units, and subcultures.
- Not all cultural groups or subgroups have extensive published information about them, choose your topic carefully.
- Information about subgroups may be within books about the main culture or country.
- Search for books about the main culture or country first. Topics within books will often not appear in the catalog as searchable words.
- Search within encyclopedias for information about your chosen cultural group.
- In addition to individual encyclopedias, the Library has reference databases that allow searches across large encyclopedias or across many at once.
