Finding Books
Books are still very helpful resources! They're good for providing in-depth discussion on specific topics.
 
  • TomCat (online catalog) The Grace Hauenstein Library has a rich collection of books, journals, pamphlets and other materials. Use TomCat to search for items the library holds.
  • WorldCat Catalog of books available in libraries throughout the world
 
Finding Articles
Online indexes help you find articles on your topic. Some provide access to full text articles, but most are citation-only databases.
 
  • GenderWatch Provides publications that focus on the impact of gender across a broad spectrum of subject areas; full text
  • OneFile (InfoTrac) Articles from arts and the humanities to social sciences, science and technology; some full text
  • ProQuest Index to articles on a variety of topics, including some full text
