Students: Working on a U.S. History project? Look no further!

During the school year, we have a lot of students asking for research help on their history projects. One of the hidden gems we have here at the library is U.S. History in Context. This is an Online Resource that you can access, FREE, through our website, at home! Check out the link below to see a complete list of what we offer:

U.S. History in Context is essentially a virtual library of tools and resources for studying history. In it, you'll find information such as Reference items (like Encycopedias), primary sources (like almanacs), newspaper articles, images, videos, and even audio clips!!

So, if you do a search for Martin Luther King, Jr., you'll find an excerpt from the Encyclopedia of African-American Culture and History, articles from The New York Times, and videos of him speaking! And for everything you find, U.S. History in Context even helps you cite it - this is helpful for those research papers and projects!

Rest assured that U.S. History in Context is authoritative-people are sometimes thrown by the fact that it is accessed online. But essentially, book excerpts, articles, and other information have been collected into one spot (online) for you to find easily in one place! How great is that?

If you have any questions, just give us a call at (317) 852-3167 option 2, or stop on by!
