Liberal Arts & Sciences Research Guide

Top three encyclopedias for research in liberal art:

For MANY results to browse:

• try "subject keyword" using indian* OR aboriginal* OR first nation* 
  • Note that due to earlier colonial practices, some books are assigned subjects that use problematic terminologies; the library staff is working on changing these practices, but in order to search for older titles in Indigenous Studies, using these terms will retrieve more results.
• using OR between search terms will separate them and expand results
• * will search for variants (e.g. Canad* searches Canada, Candian's, Canadianism, etc. )

To LIMIT your results:

• add geographic area (Canada, Australia, etc.) if needed
• add subject (appropriation, society, justice, etc.)

No Results?

• use fewer search terms
• try adding * at the end of a root word
