Use the Tripod catalog for your home institution           to look for relevant titles in the tricolleges. 

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 #2 and 4 below, using keywords (rather than subjects) will pick up results from chapter titles.
