DCE History Day Research @ UWSP

Making a connection to the UWSP Library

Hi - my name is Terri Muraski and I'm a librarian at UWSP.  I've teamed up with your teachers to establish a connection to the UWSP library to help you with research on your National History Day topics, focusing on this years theme Exploration, Encounter, and Exchange in History. 

The first step is to get you acquainted with a few of our search tools, most importantly, our catalog.  The catalog is our gateway to nearly everything in our building, and many online resources especially from the US government. 

I've put together a NHD research guide for you that should help you get started.  There's a link to our catalog on the page - but before you start searching, it might help to go through the powerpoint presentation that I've provided on the guide and in the next post.  If you want to just dive in, you can always come back to the presentation if you have trouble.  In addition, the guide includes links to many other NHD resources and to many important history websites.
