Use Library Search to find which books, journal titles, DVDs and other materials are available in the TU library collections.
Use the Subject search in Library Search to locate books about ethnic groups in general, or about specific ethnic groups; for books in general, use ETHNICITY or IMMIGRATION AND EMMIGRATION -- UNITED STATES as a search term; for books about specific groups in America, in most cases, use the name of the group followed by the word AMERICANS. If the name of the groups consists of two or more words, enclose the words in quotes .
For example, if you wanted to locate books about the Chileans in the United States, a subject search in Library Search using "CHILEAN AMERICANS" as the search term, would generate a list of books with subject headings for CHILEAN AMERICANS. Refer to the box on the left side of this page for a list of Library of Congress subject headings for ethnic American groups.
To obtain books which are not owned by TU Libraries, which are missing, or which are checked out, use EZ-Borrow. Books arrive within 3 to 5 days and can be picked up on Main Campus at the Circulation desk in Tuttleman. If you cannot find the book you are looking for in the E-ZBorrow database, use Interlibrary Loan.
The Library of Congress procedure for creating subject headings for ethnic American groups is to follow the name of the ethnic groups with the word Americans; for example, German Americans, or Panamanian Americans. This is not true in some cases, notably with Native American groups and Jews. Refer to the list below.
