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 many books on philosophy in the library; do a keyword search or browse the
100-199 Dewey numbers in BOTH the Reference Room and the Non-Fiction stacks.
As well, you can look at our online
resources, including Britannica 2002, and EbscoHost.
Finally, the old SIRS volumes in the Reference Room have a lot of articles
particular to your study.
The first place to check on the web for
information would be at Yahoo!
This search site is organized into the specific topics you are looking for, and
each of the pages has been reviewed for relevance and validity. Many of
the following links are directly from a simple search on
Yahoo!
If you can't find what you are looking for,
let me know.

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. Be careful with
your search; searching for "consciousness" will bring up A LOT of hits.
Try searching from something like "definition of consciousness" (in quotes).
If you need help, click the Help buton in the upper right hand corner OR ask me.
