Medieval Studies: Finding Books

The Classic Library Catalog search is the most efficient way to find books (print & electronic) that Fordham definitively owns.

Looking for ebooks only? Select the "Online Resources" option under the library dropdown limiter before your press Search in the catalog:

OneSearch aggregates books Fordham owns plus some articles from databases. It also includes bibliographic records for content that Fordham does not own.

For subject searches in the Library Catalog, use this tool to identify subject terms.

Some subject terms to try are:

Medieval antiquities
Medieval archaeology
Medieval laws
Medieval literature
Medieval education
Medieval etiquette
Medieval scholars
Medieval Latin manuscripts
Medieval aesthetics
Medieval gardens

Borrowing books or accessing articles that are not available at any of the Fordham University Libraries requires assistance from Interlibrary Loan.

Find items outside of Fordham with WorldCat / OCLC FirstSearch, a platform searching across the largest network of library collections around the world.

The library uses Library of Congress call numbers. Books on similar topics usually have similar call numbers, and arranged on the shelves next to related books.
