Use these subject headings when looking for books in IRIS, the Rutgers Libraries Catalog:
Be aware that items at the Alexander Library in New Brunswick purchased before c. 1970 and not checked out since then are not included in IRIS. We have a copy of their old card catalog from c. 1970 on microfilm. Ask at the Reference Desk for more information.
When using IRIS try using the keyword search option. If your topic does not concern the war itself but something that would have been happening while the war was going on do not use the subject headings above. Instead use your topic as search terms, for example "education women france" or "war correspondents radio."
Two other catalogs may be useful in locating resources for your paper. Both will include some primary sources. You can request items from these catalogs on interlibrary loan.
The library has several journal indexes available. The best index for you will depend on your topic. Some of the general indexes that are likely to be relevant are:
Contemporary Journals and Indexes
To locate primary sources in newspapers or magazines, use the following indexes:
This is a selected list of American journals in the library for relevant years.
This is a selected list of British journals in the library for relevant years; all are on microfilm:
There are some sources in the Robeson Library which may be useful, most especially the following:
Trial of the major war criminals before the International Military Tribunal, Nuremberg, 14 November 1945-1 October 1946 / KZ 1176 T748 1995 (42 vols)
The law library has legal materials from all of the major powers involved in the war. Legal materials are published in the country's native language. Thus only U.S. and British materials will be in English. If you would like some assistance in finding out what the law library has, talk to a librarian at Robeson or at the law library.
