This Month's Featured Library Database!

Have you visited this month’s featured database, History Study Center? Maybe it’s time you should! History Study Center offers historical reference material from ancient times through today's current events. It houses over 40,000 documents that showcase historical events and provide students, historians, and researchers alike with quick and easy access to information.

History Study Center consists of five integrated resources that can be easily cross-searched through a single interface:
· Study Units: more than 500 Study Units containing 30-80 items
· Historical Documents: hundreds of primary source texts from historical sourcebooks
· Reference Works: articles from atlases, biographical collections, encyclopedias, and research guides. Updated monthly
· Multimedia: more than 3,000 captioned historical photos, political cartoons, and woodcuts; hundreds of historical video clips, captioned for context and easy searching; and annotated links to thousands of reliable websites
· Journals: cover-to-cover full text of 60 journals for runs that often go up to the most recent issue

A nice feature of this database is that you can create your own personalized area of History Study Center. Here you can store your saved searches and items selected between sessions. Do this by clicking on “My Archive” and create a profile.

You can use this database at the library or from home with your library card number. While you’re there, explore our other databases!
