Books about history can be found in two main ways: by searching the online CU Library Catalog and by browsing the Library's collection.

When searching the online catalog, a basic search will let you search by keyword, title, author, subject or call number. An advanced search will let you search by a combination of these fields, as well as by format, language, location, and date.
