CATALOGUE
First, consult the catalogue.
This may seem obvious, but many students fail to fully investigate
the resources of our own library.
Using guided
keyword search you can search for your historian,
discipline or theory as a subject.
Any keywords inSubject heading can be especially useful
if you use terms such as country paired with the term historiography.
e.g. ASIA HISTORIOGRAPHY (click all of these)
FRANCE HISTORIOGRAPHY (click all
of these)
Subject Heading, and searching on the term HISTORIOGRAPHY can
also be fruitful for general works on this subject. If you sort your list
of results, by date (latest first), you will find the most recent
publications displayed first.
