Using this subject guide The
John Paul II Library offers many different sources of information about the history of
North America. Print reference sources available on the first floor can be used to locate
the borders of countries in years past, map military campaigns and identify key figures in
the different eras. Many of the print reference resources, like encyclopedias, have
bibliographies that give book or journal titles for further information on the subject
covered. The JPII Catalog can be searched for books available on the second floor or
through OhioLINK.
Electronic resources are another way to find information at the JPII Library. Databases,
such as Academic Search Premier or Humanities Index, can be used to
locate articles from thousands of journals. Or your search can be narrowed to journal
titles that cover specific subject areas, like the Catholic Historical Review or The
Journal of American Ethnic History.
The sources listed here can help you start your research
but are only a part of the resources available to you through the library. If you have any
questions, ask the librarians for help.
