Classics Research: CLAS 226

Guidance and key resources for doing academic research in the Classics.

Course Reserves

These books are on reserve for your class. You can check them out for 2 hours at a time from the Access & Instruction Desk. The books must stay in the library.

To make life easier, scan the pages about your monument at the library's KIC scanner, located near the elevator on the Coming St side. Be sure to follow the instructions posted to get the correct book settings. 

Helpful Things

To find additional peer-reviewed research about your monument, search in JSTOR, the library's Discovery Service (which searches many databases at once), or in one of the other Secondary Sources databases listed on the Find Sources tab of this guide. Feel free to make an appointment if you aren't finding what you need. 

Many of you will be able to find diagrams and images of your monument in JSTOR's image collections, so that can be a great place to start for both images and articles.

Citing your LTUR entry:

Cite the specific entry for your monument as you would a chapter in an edited volume.

Here is an example:

Liberati Silverio, Anna Maria. 1993. “Aqua Alsietina.” In Lexicon Topographicum Urbis Romae, vol. 1, edited by Eva Margareta Steinby. Edizioni Quasar.

In the example above, Anna Maria Liberati Silverio is the author of the entry on the Aqua Alsietina. Replace those parts with the author and title of your monument's entry, and be sure to include the correct volume number.
