Search Tips

To get the best results for your movement or issue, try these tips:

search for a person as both a keyword and an author in order to find sources both about them and by them
put a person's name in quotation marks (i.e., "Harvey Milk") to get the most relevant results
look for sources not just about a specific person, but about the organizations they are affiliated with, other activists in the same movement, context about the time period, etc.

WorldCat
Use WorldCat to find (mostly) books about your topic. This search will find both Temple-owned books, and books from other libraries around the world. If we don't own it, you can request it for free through EZ Borrow or ILLiad, or you can go to a public library near you to request interlibrary loan services.
