TRY THESE NEW ELECTRONIC RESOURCES -- SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY
Bibliography of British and Irish History
http://proxy.libraries.uc.edu/login?url=http://apps.brepolis.net/bbih/search.cfm
Bibliography of British and Irish History provides bibliographic data on historical writing dealing with the British Isles, and with the British Empire and Commonwealth, during all periods for which written documentation is available -- from 55BC to the present. It is the successor to the Royal Historical Society Bibliography for British and Irish History, available online from 2002 to 2009. The Bibliography is a guide to the work of historians. It does not contain original sources unless they have been edited and republished by historians (except for a selection of key sources published before 1901 derived from the printed bibliographies published for the Royal Historical Society and the American Historical Association by Oxford University Press). The Bibliography aims to be as comprehensive as is practical for publications since 1900 and has been enriched by cooperation with other projects.

Introducing CampusGuides: Taking Research to a New Level
CampusGuides
http://guides.libraries.uc.edu
Looking for resources on a particular subject? UC Libraries are transitioning the current online subject guides to a more user-friendly, robust CampusGuides interface. CampusGuides incorporate search boxes, RSS Feeds, embedded media, and surveys, and can be easily accessed on mobile devices. Guides can also be searched by individual guide or across all subjects. See the Psychology guide at http://guides.libraries.uc.edu/psychology for an example of a new and improved subject guide. The new UC Libraries CampusGuides homepage is at http://guides.libraries.uc.edu where guides can be browsed by librarian, subject, or by keyword. The links on the current subject guides page at www.libraries.uc.edu/research/subject_resources/index.html will be changed to lead directly to the new CampusGuides as they are created. Some will appear in the old interface and some in the new until all of the guides are completed at the end of this academic year.
Library electronic resources are accessible to University of Cincinnati students, faculty, and staff from any UC on-campus connection or through UC remote access. More information on UC remote access is available online at www.libraries.uc.edu/information/access.html. If you have any problems logging in, e-mail libhelp@uc.edu or call Library Help at 556-1994.
