Guide to history research at Temple University Libraries

Find Books

Use Library Search to find books owned by Temple University Libraries. You can search by author, title, subject, or keyword.

  • Select the Books & Media heading.
  • Then use the filters to the left of your search results to limit results by availability (print or online), publication date, topic, era, genre, and more.
  • Once you find a book that seems useful, check the list of Subject links in the item's record. Try these links to find additional books on the same topic. For example the subject: World War, 1914-1918 -- Social aspects -- Great Britain, will take you to other titles about the home-front and other social impacts of World War I in Great Britain.
