In Published Works

The notes and list of sources (primary and secondary) cited by scholars in their books and journal articles are a good place to begin building a working bibliography on a topic.

For example, in this monograph the author provides a 60 page bibliography of sources:

Wood, Gordon S. The Radicalism of the American Revolution, New York : A.A. Knopf, 1992, Edition 1st ed, Descript x, 447 p. Includes bibliographical references (p. [371]-430) and index. Baker Berry E209 .W65 1992

In the Library Catalog

To learn if the library contains a bibliography on a particular topic search by KEYWORD(s) and s:bibliography.

For example, a search for "imperialism and s:bibliography" returns several titles including -

Bibliography of imperial, colonial, and Commonwealth history since 1600/edited by Andrew Porter ; research assistant Austin Gee.   Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2002. Descript xx, 1060 p. Baker Berry Z2021.C7 B53 2002
