HIST 131 Early Modern Europe: Finding Books & Articles

How to Search the Book Catalogs

Gather a list of useful words or terms from lecture notes and/or assigned readings to begin your research in the CONSORT or Ohiolink web catalog (hot links below). Books owned by other Consort libraries may be requested and will be sent here in 3-4 working days. If you cannot locate materials on your subject or all of the CONSORT copies are checked out, you should search the Ohiolink online card catalog for additional materials. Books may be requested from the Ohiolink catalog using your barcode on the back of your student ID.

How to Search for Journal Articles

Individual journal and newspaper articles are not indexed in library catalogs. In order to find individual articles within specific journals and newspapers, you'll need to turn to an index, either in print or online. Once you determine the title of the journal or newspaper, you can then use CONSORT and OhioLINK to find the location of the journal itself. If we don't have the journal at Kenyon, simply fill out an Interlibrary loan request form. The following History-specific and general indexes are great places to begin searching for articles.
