The library catalog can be accessed from your home or office via the Internet. You can use the list of Library of Congress subject headings to draw up a list of subject headings related to your topic. The University Library's books are arranged by the Library of Congress classification system. The reference collection not only has general encyclopedias and dictionaries such as the World Book Encyclopedia and Webster's Dictionary, but also has many specialized encyclopedias and dictionaries as well. Other reference works include directories, statistical sources, and bibliographies.
Many indexes are subject-specific, while some are very general in nature.
Be sure to check the library catalog by searching for the title of the journal to see if the Library has the journals you need and where they are located. Many of the web-accessible indexes the UNH Library subscribes to are limited to use by UNH faculty, students, and staff. You must log in to these databases from a UNH IP number or address. Read these instructions for more information about accessing such restricted databases from outside the library. Additional online indexes as well as print indexes are available for other areas of interest such as political science, social sciences, and anthropology.
