Resources in the University Library

Databases:

Discovery - an EBSCO service allowing you to search multiple databases and the library catalog simultaneously. This is a great place to start searching, but I strongly recommend checking the databases listed below, as well.

JSTOR - This database provides access to complete back files of core journals in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.

Arts & Humanities (ProQuest) — Includes hundreds of titles covering Art, Architecture, Design, History, Philosophy, Music, Literature, Theatre and Cultural Studies.

Suggested Books:

Who's Who in the Greek World - contains very brief entries on selected Greeks.

The People of Plato by Debra Nails - contains entries on each named person from Plato's dialogues
