The New York Times Index can help you find an article published in The New York Times years ago even if you did not have old copies of that newspaper.  If you want to find news articles about a historical event, find the volume of The New York Times Index for the year of the event.  Look up the people, organization, or event involved.  The entry will include the relevant articles’ headlines from that year and the dates, sections, and page numbers where the articles were published.

You can find these articles electronically.  You might be able to look them up on www.nytimes.com, Google, or another search engine by typing in the headlines.  Remember to use quotation marks around the headline to get precise results.  Your search may lead you back to a page on www.nytimes.com.  Many old news articles are free online.

If the article is not available online, you can use your Jersey City Free Public Library card.  (If you do not have one, but you are a student at IHE, it is easy to get one.)  Visit http://www.jclibrary.org/resources/online-resources-home-access and click on Infotrac or EBSCOhost to find newspaper articles.

This list includes:

1.    1  Several history books (with call numbers beginning with D or E)

2.    The 2011 edition of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins’ Comprehensive Medical Assisting; we previously had earlier editions

3.    Memmler’s Structure and Function of the Human Body, a book with transparencies that clearly show how the parts of the body work together; this book can be helpful for students in Anatomy and Physiology classes

4.    Two multivolume reference works:  Contemporary Literary Criticism and McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology:  An International Reference in Twenty Volumes Including an Index. 

The books in the last group are considered reference works because they include facts that can be looked up quickly.  Reference works include such sources dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, and thesauri.  Reference works do not have to be books; they can be CDs, DVDs, or web pages.  In our library, reference books’ call numbers begin with REF.  These books cannot be checked out because readers can find information in them quickly and they have information that many library users may need.

Contemporary Literary Criticism is considered a periodical even though it is comprised of over 200 hardcover books.  People often think of periodicals as magazines, journals, and newspapers, but a periodical is anything that has a new volume or issue on a regular basis, whether every day like many newspapers or once every ten years.  Each volume of Contemporary Literary Criticism has its own LCCN and ISBN, and the entire series has the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) 00913421.  Just as books have their own unique ISBNs, periodicals have unique ISSNs.

 Multivolume works can be organized in different ways.  The volumes of McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology are organized alphabetically like many other encyclopedias.  For example, the first volume is about topics with names that would be alphabetized between AAR and ANO such as Anatomy. The last volume in this set, #20, is in index.  Look up a topic in the index to see which other volume of this encyclopedia has information on it.

Contemporary Literary Criticism’s organization is more complicated.  If you want to find criticism about a writer, use the index of one of the most recent volumes of the series.  You can tell how recent a volume is by its publication date; they are organized in our library from earliest to most recent.  The index will include the numbers of the volumes with articles about the writers.

Remember that this guide is to help you browse, but it is not an exhaustive list of the Library of Congress headings and subheadings of every book that might be useful for your classes. Use our online catalog to look for more specific topics.

For example, the book An Integrated Approach to Health Sciences by Bruce J. Colbert, Jeff Ankney, Joe Wilson, and John Havrilla (ISBN 9781435487642) features information on mathematics, chemistry, physics, anatomy, and physiology that is useful for health professionals.  Its call number is RC 46 .C584 2012, placing it among books on Internal Medicine.  You would not find it with the math books in the “QA” section.  However, if you search in the catalog for “math”, your search will show this book.
