This library catalog will help you locate articles, books, images, reference materials, and primary sources at UNLV's libraries.
Because this catalog searches so many different collections, you may want to plan your searches ahead of time, and use the Advanced Search function to focus your search. A search for "Hitler" returns over 1,000 results! But a search for "Hitler" AND "Nazi" returns almost 300 results. A search for "Hitler" AND "Nazi" and modifying the results to Format: Book plus Language: English brings back around 200 results.
So remember, plan your search ahead, use the Advanced Search for more control over your searching, and use limits like Material Type to help narrow down your results.
The librarians at UNLV have put together a number of subject guides to help their students find the materials they need, just like the LibGuides here at our library. In particular, these guides may be useful to you:
History Resources - Make sure to check out all the tabs on the left of this guide, including the tab on finding primary source collections.
