Home Economics: Disguise
Reference Books Online and in Print
Start with an encyclopedia article. Read a Wikipedia article first if that's where you like to begin, but don't stop there. Take the time to compare that article with another article from Britannica or World Book.
Subject Specific Books Online or in Print
Consult specific subject area books either from our library (check out our catalogue), or look at Google Books. Remember to conduct an advanced search (link is at bottom of Google Book Search page) of Google books to look specifically for books that give you a preview. Here is an example of a few books the library has begun collecting on the topic of Masquerades.
Journals, Magazines, Newspapers
The library subscribes to a number of databases that give you access to thousands of current articles on your topic. Here are links to those that may be helpful:
CPI-Q
Global Issues in Context
Conduct a site specific search using Google's Advance Search tool.
Finally, we are previewing the Berg Fashion Library Online. It is a fabulous resource for this unit. Let us know what you think.
