Library Catalog
Use this box to search the Geisel Library catalog for books and other materials in the library collection.
Use WorldCat to search the collections of libraries worldwide. If you find a book in this database that is not owned by Geisel Library, you can request it through Interlibrary Loan by clicking on the "Request via Interlibrary Loan" link in the book's catalog record.
If you aren't sure what topic you'd like to explore (or just enjoy browsing the shelves in the library) you can take a peek in these areas, where you will find books on the Renaissance:
| DC33.3 | Renaissance France | (Main Level) |
| DC108-DC111 | Renaissance France | (Main Level) |
| DG445 | Renaissance Italy | (Upper Level) |
| DG533-DG537 | Renaissance Italy | (Upper Level) |
| DG737-DG738 | Renaissance Florence | (Upper Level) |
Starting with the Library Home Page, you can look up the name of a historical person, either using keyword search or subject search.
If you use a subject search, you may need to invert the person's name. Example: Machiavelli, Niccolò.
Subject searches are more accurate than keyword, but can be difficult to formulate correctly.
Here are some actual subject headings used for books on the Renaissance:
Use one source to lead you to another.
The library catalog lists all of the subject headings that have been assigned to each book.
The subject headings are hot-linked to every other book that also has that subject heading.
Clicking on a subject heading will lead you to more sources.
Also, use the bibliographies in the books that you find to help you find more.
If the library doesn't have the book, use Worldcat to locate a copy. The Request ILL link on the book's Worldcat record will enable you to borrow a copy through Interlibrary Loan (takes 1-2 weeks).
