Welcome to the World Civilization Guide! This research guide is intended to be a starting point and will provide resources that students can use to complete assignments in the World Civilization courses. Search the library catalog below for books and please see the tabs for information on locating, peer-reviewed articles, web resources, and information on writing and plagiarism. Please do not hesitate to ask for help if you have any questions!
Search 650+ titles including encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases, & reference handbooks covering the arts, business, health, history, literature, math, religion, etc. Over 1,000 videos, 300,000 art images, and thousands of images for other subjects.
You can search the library's catalog to find both books and articles. Please be aware that it sometimes appears that we own a copy of book, but it is the book review. If we own the title, "Texas A&M University-San Antonio Library" will appear on the last line of the citation. The library's catalog also gathers titles that appear within San Antonio area libraries and throughout the world. These books will either have "At San Antonio Libraries" or "At other libraries worldwide" on the last line. Any book that is tagged "At San Antonio Libraries" can be checked out by using a TexShare card. For any book that is tagged "At other libraries worldwide" an Interlibrary Loan request can be made to get that book to the patron.
Here are some search terms to get you started. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it might be helpful to begin your research by browsing some of these ideas.
When searching, type su: + (search term) and you should get hits related to that topic.
