History Subject Guide: Welcome to the University of Northampton

A library subject guide for History

Welcome to the library subject guide for History. In this guide you will find library resources to support study and research in your subject area.

On the History Databases page you will find a list of recommended sources of information for your subject area. Multidisciplinary resources cover different subject areas and are useful for topics that cover multiple areas. Useful links is a list of relevant websites for your subject area.

Please book a tutorial with me for literature searching for your subject. 

I also have a drop-in session each week, during semester time only, that you can attend with any questions you may have and there is no need to book.

This will be in person and held online on a Friday from 17th October 1:30-3pm, Drop-in area, on Floor 2 in the Learning Hub.

Please email me for the link or if you have any questions: lorraine-marie.james@northampton.ac.uk.

Don't forget to look at the Special Collections section of this guide - there are videos to show you what we have available for you to access. 

Watch the video below on how to find a book in the Library from NELSON to the shelf.

NELSON

You can use NELSON to search the library’s books, e-books, e-journals, videos and more.

Login with your University username and password at the top right-hand side of the page so you can access the full-text material and save your search results.

If the item is available electronically, you’ll see a link to the full-text online. If the content is available in print, you’ll see a shelfmark letting you know where to find the book on the shelf.
