All book titles are located in the Christopher Center Reference stacks (2nd floor) unless noted otherwise; many are multi-volume works. For additional books be sure to check GALILEO, our online library catalog, with appropriate keywords or author searches, such as "climate change" or "Riordon, William" -- or ask a librarian for further assistance.

All of the internet resources have been chosen by the librarians as useful and appropriate supplemental sites.

For author information online, use Biography Resource Center, one of your VU databases. For country information, use Europa World Plus, an online resource VU subscribes to. For off-campus access to these resources, use the appropriate Proxy Server setting.
