Use Oxford Bibliographies Online

Navigate an individual topic's bibliography using the "In This Article" list on the left as needed or use the search box on the left to search within the bibliography/article.

Bibliography citations include books, journals and articles, web resources, multimedia, and primary source documents. You will thus run into a variety of types of resources while combing through a bibliography/article. Each bibliography includes a curated selection of citations providing a selective list of the best and most useful resources available. The corresponding annotations provide guidance on how the resource will aid your research.

If you find a citation in the Oxford Bibliographies article for an item that you'd like to use in your research project, you can use WorldCat Discovery to quickly check the Library's collections for the item. Click the + next to the "Find this resource" bolded words beneath the citation (shown below) and then click on the WorldCat Discovery logo.

The link will open a basic search page in a new tab. Copy the title of the book or article and paste it into the search box. (Tip: use quotation marks to search for the title as a phrase.)

Format Filter

Searches for a book title will likely return results for book reviews published in journals and magazines. Use the Format filter to limit your results to books.

Requesting Books from Other Libraries

If you're able to visit the library in person, you can request print book from libraries worldwide by clicking the title to open the item details, then the Request through Interlibrary Loan button.
