I have a Survey of Modern History-1 book review due. I need to read an academic book based on events within the time frame of the course. How can I find them?
Answer
To find scholarly history books in our collection, do an advanced search in the catalog or in QuickSearch, using the word “university” in the publisher field. Use a keyword of your choice in another search field highlighting the event in which you are interested. According to Wikipedia, a university press is an academic publishing house specializing in monographs reviewed by scholars in the field. They produce the kinds of academic books you are seeking.
