Tips for Searching:
Once you've run a search, use the "Refine My Results" options on the left side of the page. It's a quick way to drill down to the most useful results without paging through a lot of items you're not really interested in.
Encyclopedias and Reference
Encyclopedias and reference materials can provide background information and can be used to identify key people, events, and dates which can then be used as search terms for finding additional information. Many also provide a jumpstart on your research by listing related readings.
