Finding Books
You can begin searching in Orbis using a string of keywords but the most successful way is to use subject headings. Check out the tab above for suggested subject headings relating to gender studies (in general) or more specific subject headings to the left.
To search for books that are not in Yale Library, use WorldCat, a catalog of more than 50 million holdings from libraries around the world.
Finding Articles
One place to find journal articles is to search in one of the library's many databases. Some of the databases provide you with a link to the full-text of the article. To locate others that are not full text, try one of these options:
In the database click on the Yale Links icon (shown below)
This will take you to another window which identifies other databases that have full-text of your article. However your article may only be available in print so always check Orbis. If Yale doesn't have access to it, you can always request it through InterLibrary Loan. Here are some of the databases that you may want to use for your research paper:
Sociological Abstracts
AnthroSource
Anthropological Literature
Sociological Abstracts
LGBT Life
Gender studies databases
Black Thought & Culture
International Index to Black Periodicals
