History, World Books & Media

These are suggestions only and do not reflect the full range of materials that may be useful to you. For additional assistance, Ask Steely Library!

For locating specific items, using the library's catalog, NKUIRE,is recommended. Keyword, Author, Title, and Subject are among the ways you can search. Here's a tip for primary sources: in NKUIRE, combine your subject with "sources" or "personal narratives."

For Non-Print Media (videos, DVDs, CDs, slides, etc.), Consider the "Media Searches" tab atop the NKUIRE search page.

Browsing for materials in Steely's Reference and Circulating collections can be very useful.

For World History, the following call number areas are suggested:
  • Check out Humanities E-Book, a digital collection of over 1,700 full-text high-quality books in the Humanities, recommended and reviewed by scholars, offered by the ACLS [American Council of Learned Societies] in collaboration with twelve learned societies, nearly 95 contributing publishers, and librarians at the University of Michigan’s Scholarly Publishing Office.
  • New World History titles in the library catalog, NKUIRE.
