Please use the proper
format for your bibliographies and citations. Check the BibHelpers in the
Reference Room or the English Department Style Guide (pdf format)
here.
 We
have some
books on the Middle Ages in the library; do a keyword search OR subject search for
"middle ages"
or the specific time period AND the country of your topic. You can also
browse the 940 +/- Dewey numbers in the non-fiction stacks and the Reference
Room. Please check world history sources in the Reference Room, as well as the school
encyclopedias for general information. Finally, you can look at our online
resources, including SIRS Researcher, Britannica 2002, and Worldbook 2001.
Both have a TimeLine feature which shows world events according to date,
although the Britannica will probably be more helpful.
The links below are pretty broad, and I have left out
some
 countries, for which you already have resources, either in the classroom or in
the library. Nevertheless, if your country isn't listed, please check the
broad resources listed below first. When looking for information on the net,
please check
Yahoo! first. This sites organization
and "hand-picked" links will be your best resource. In fact, many of the
links below are directly from a simple search at
Yahoo! Finally, you may want to check out the very broad (and mostly
European) links to the Middle Ages from Ms. Metz' project two years ago
here.
If you can't find what you are looking for,
let me know.
NOTE: There may be some redundancies
below!

EbscoHost
By clicking above, you can get directly in from school. If you are
accessing from home, you will need to use the username (s4361824)
and password (bolivar).
EbscoHost is a database of magazine, newspaper and journal articles and also
includes the Funk and Wagnall's Encyclopedia. You need to choose a set of
databases from the opening page (choose High School Databases) and then on the
second page choose the databases you want to search. I would suggest MAS
Ultra - School Edition, Newspaper Source and Funk & Wagnalls New World
Encyclopedia. From there, you click "Continue" which bring you to the
actual Search page. Here, enter your terms, and check "Full Text" in the
"Limit Your Results" box. What you will get are articles that you can
read, email to yourself, save or print on the topic you searched for.
Although EbscoHost is more for current events, you may get lucky here IF your
search terms are narrow enough.
If you need help, click the Help buton in the upper right hand corner OR ask me.

Islamic Legacy of Timbuktu
No word in English connotes

and West, albeit for very different reasons. |
