Finding Primary Sources

• Enter a keyword to be searched in the first box
• Using the "and" connector (default), enter one of the following terms or phrases in the second box. Choose subject keyword from the pull-down menu under "Select Field to Search"
  • sources
  • personal narratives
  • diaries
  • correspondence
  • journals
  • interviews
• You can enter more than one of these phrases in a box, connected by typing the word "or" - for example, sources or diaries or journals

Notes:

• These same suggestions should work in searching WorldCat to locate books that may not be owned by DePauw Libraries.
• Interlibrary loan may be more difficult with primary source material, as some of these sources are located in Special Collections and may not be loaned.
• Don't forget to check "regular" books. Even if the book is a secondary source, they may provide citations to primary source documents in their bibliographies
