Primary Sources: Online Bibliographies/Databases

 

Access subscription resources through the A-Z list under Resource Gateway on the Libraries' home page, or through individual subject pages. Some online bibliographies have the advantage of being full-text databases.

 

Depending on your topic, you may also find that some important bibliographic tools are freely available via the Internet. Two useful portals intended to help researchers locate free web resources in their disciplines are Intute and Voice of the Shuttle.

 

 

Secondary Sources: Library of Congress Subject Headings

 

Originally designed for use by the Library of Congress, but now used for subject cataloging internationally, LCSH has its idiosyncrasies. It does not always use the most current terminology (e.g. 'Motion pictures' not 'Movies' or 'Films'); elements are not always listed consistently (e.g. 'Art, German' but 'Drama (Germany)' or 'German drama'); the forms of authors' names and the titles of works may also, occasionally, offer some surprises.

 

 

Secondary Sources: Individual Thesauri

 

LCSH aims to cover the entire universe of knowledge. Many individual databases have their own, subject-specific thesauri, or lists of terms they employ in indexing: e.g. ABELL, MLA International Bibliography.
