Finding Books
- The best way to find a book on your topic is to start
with a search in the Library
Catalog. Once you've found something of interest,
you should also browse the stacks in that particular area.
- Possible Subject Headings to use in the Library Catalog that would yield both primary and secondary works:
Women's rights United States History 20th Century
Women United States History Sources
Women United States Correspondance
Women United States Economic Conditions
For primary sources, also look for these subdivisions: diaries,
personal narratives, correspondence, sources.
