- Guide to Sources: American History. Patterson, Thomas H., Comp. Abstracts Academic Libraries Annotated Bibliographies Classification Higher Education Indexes Information Seeking Information Sources Library Guides Local History Reference Materials Reference Services Subject Index Terms United States History Designed to introduce students to some of the basic bibliographic tools in American history available in the Fogler Library at the University of Maine, this guide begins by listing examples of relevant Library of Congress Subject Headings and providing brief explanations of the call numbers and classification systems (Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal) used in Fogler Library. It then lists and describes information sources in 16 categories: abstracts; atlases; bibliographies; biographical sources; card catalog; dictionaries; dissertations; encyclopedias; government documents (bibliographies and guides); handbooks; indexes; manuscripts; microform research collections; newspapers; style manuals; and subject headings. Brief annotations accompany the majority of the examples cited. A concluding notation informs students that additional information sources available to them include computer searches, a computer print-out listing specific periodical holdings in American history, and the assistance of a reference librarian.
