They are written by scholars with the aim of introducing students to important issues and key authors. The different subject sections are all under development with new essays added twice a year.

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 examples #1 and 4 below, using keywords (that is Any Field in Tripod), rather than subjects, will pick up results from chapter titles and book content summaries.
