To search for books in Boatwright, use the Library Catalog. When dealing with classical Greece or Rome, it is often useful to add the word "history"  or "ancient" or "classical" to any search.  Start with a keyword search and, when you have found one or two relevant books, examine their subjects headings to help guide further searching, or use terms from the table of subject headings to the left.  Don't assume that there is nothing in books about your site just because there it is not the main subject of a book.  Use terms related to the general geographical location, culture,  or historical period in your searches.

Many books will have information on a site that is not evident from the record in the catalog.  To find these books, you can use the browsing guide on the left and scan the tables of contents and indexes of books in the appropriate call number area.

You can also find relevant books by using the national union catalog of book, Worldcat, by searching Google Books or Google Scholar, and by searching  our Ebsco and Ebrary e-book Database.
