How to use this
subject guide The John Paul II Library
offers many different sources of information about the ancient world. 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 Classical
Philology.
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. |
