Use the Tripod catalog for your home institution          to look for all books (print and digital) owned by your college as well as the print titles at the other two schools.  

The following searches are a sampling of possibilities.  To find materials on a topic, try doing a keyword search in the Tripod Catalog to find relevant materials and then use the subject headings assigned to those titles to find more books.  Note that all these searches are in the Books+Media channel.  In the examples below, using keywords (in Tripod called In Any Field) rather than subjects will pick up results from chapter titles and content summaries.

• black AND transgender* [in Any Field]          

• ("African American*" OR black) AND (transgender* OR nonconform*) [Subject]         
• "trans studies" [Any Field]          

• transgender*[Any Field] AND "human rights" [Subject]  Sorted by the newest titles first        

• history AND "united states" [Subjects] AND (transgender*) [Any Field]         
• (transgender*) AND (theory OR theories OR methodolog*)  [Subjects]          

**  Try opening a search above and replace one of the topics with your research interest.

While the Tri-College libraries have a great deal of material for students to use in reading and research, you will often encounter titles which are not available.  Take advantage of the services below to have the scholarship you need sent to Haverford for your use.  See more information on the Accessing Resources tab.
