How to Use the Subject Guide

This subject guide is meant to assist students, faculty, and staff in the effective research of the Classics through guiding them through the beginning phases of their research. It is divided into three different research specialties -- Greek and Latin Literature, Archaeology, and Ancient History -- closely mirroring CU’s Undergraduate and M.A. track system, and contains information ranging from a general overview on a subject to specialized information for the expert.

 

Each page is divided into two major classifications: Electronic Resources and Textual Material. Subclasses are utilized that further divide into areas of expertise. For example, under Textual Material one will find Encyclopediae, Pictorial Dictionaries, Grammars, etc. Material present in Norlin’s onsite collection is highlighted, complete with a link to the permanent catalog record where one can check location and availability.

 

Please note: to access some electronic resources from off campus, the VPN client is required. See http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/research/offcampusaccess.htm for further information.
