Oxford Bibliographies

New in Spring, 2012, Oxford Bibliographies combine the best features of an annotated bibliography and a high-level encyclopedia, this cutting-edge resource guides researchers to the best available scholarship across a wide variety of subjects. They could provide starting points for your research. Each large topic area will identify a variety of potential sources, including overviews, monographs, data sources, journals (not articles!), government organizations, and non-governmental organizations. You will then have to track down the actual sources; hopefully we will have many of them available. Within the listings, the 'find this resource' will connect to WorldCat. WorldCat will indicate ISU holdings but you will have to connect to the online catalog (fusion.indstate.edu) or the Electronic Resources portal, to proceed. If you are unclear what to do, get in touch with the Reference/Instruction staff.

Export to Endnote is available.
