Finding Information on Chinese HistoryReference SourcesKaplan, Sobin, Anders. Encyclopedia of China Today. 1979. Ref DS705 .E54 1979.Nagel's China. 1982. Ref DS705 .N313 1982. Biographical Dictionary of Republican China. 1967. 4 vols. Ref DS778 .A1 B5. Klein, Clark. Biographic Dictionary of Chinese Communism 1921-1965. 2 vols. Ref DS778 .A1 K55 1971 Who's Who in Communist China. 2 vols. Ref DS778 .A1 W46. Europa World Year Book. Ready Ref JN1 .E84x. The Statesman's Year-Book. Ready Ref JA51 .S7. BooksBooks dealing with Chinese history (DS741-779) can be found by searching the online catalog. For relevant subject headings consult the Library of Congress Subject Headings. JournalsJournal articles on Chinese history can be found in the following journals: Asian Survey, Beijing Review, Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, Journal of Asian Studies, Journal of World History, Journal of Modern History, Southeast Review of Asian Studies. Browsing, however, is not the best approach to locating articles on a particular topic. Some of the indexes to use are: Historical Abstracts (Ingram Library database), Academic Search Premier (Galileo database), JSTOR (Ingram Library database), Humanities Index (Galileo database), Social Sciences Index (Galileo database), Research Library from ProQuest (Galileo database), International Political Science Abstracts. Government DocumentsGovernment publications are useful for materials dealing with U.S. foreign relations with China and other countries, trade agreements and co-operative arrangements. Sources for useful documents are as diverse as the Department of Agriculture, the State Department, and various committees of Congress. Many of these are listed in the Ingram Library Online Catalog. The Monthly Catalog (Galileo database) is an excellent place to start a search for government documents. AtlasesThe atlas shelves in the Reference area on the main floor of the Ingram Library contain a good selection of current and historical atlases. Some atlases use alpha-numeric coordinates. Others use latitude and longitude to give locations. Book ReviewsBook Review Digest (Galileo database)Book Review Index (RefZ1035 .A1 B6) History Review of New Books (Periodical Indexes D1 .H57x) Social Sciences Index (Galileo database) Books In Print and Reviews (Galileo database) Academic Search Premier (Galileo database, 1984- .) Research Library at ProQuest (Galileo database, 1986- .) Periodical Abstracts Research II (Galileo database, 1986- .) Author InformationSometimes this is difficult. If the following titles don't help, ask a Reference Librarian.
Occasionally there is nothing written about an author beyond a sentence or two in a book review.
