Part I: The Tudors, 1509-1603: State Papers Domestic

New

Part II reunites the Foreign, Scotland, Borders and Ireland papers with the Registers (‘Minutes’) of the Privy Council for the whole of the Tudor period. Together they give comprehensive coverage of international diplomacy, colonial policy, commercial and maritime law, trade and industry and naval and military policy. These documents reveal the inner workings of the Tudor court but also those of its foreign allies and enemies.

Part III: The Stuarts and Commonwealth, James I - Anne I, 1603-1714: State Papers Domestic

New

The 17th century was a period of revolution and instability with civil wars (1642-6, and 1648), the trial and execution of one king, Charles I (1649), and the forced abdication and exile of another, James II, in the 'Glorious Revolution' (1688-9). A Stuart king, James II, was replaced by a Dutch Stadtholder, William of Orange, who ruled as William III.

Part IV: The Stuarts and Commonwealth, James I - Anne I, 1603-1714: State Papers Foreign, Ireland

Religion, Reform, and Society

New

When the nineteenth century opened in Britain and the United States, it would not have been unusual to think that mainstream Christianity had made its peace with eighteenth-century rationalism and Enlightenment thought. In New England, the location of almost all of the elite American colleges, a Unitarian Deism had become the norm among faculty and students.

Database Searching Tips from Foley Librarians

LOOK AT THE WHOLE SCREEN FIRST. Before you start searching in an unfamiliar database, look at the whole search screen first. What search tools are available to you? Are there check boxes, limiters, subject headings, indexes, a link to get help?
KEEP IT SIMPLE. Search with only the most necessary keywords from your topic and don't use all of them at once. Example (keywords in italics): What are the effects of global warming on the animals in national parks? You might want to get more specific and search for: climate change, wildlife, Yellowstone.
FIND A FEW (2-3) RELEVANT ARTICLES. You don't need to start with 20 articles; find a couple of very relevant ones and read those first. You may discover other topics, authors or references or you may decide to change your topic.
SEARCH USING SUBJECT HEADINGS. Browse a database’s Thesaurus or list of Subject Terms to find subject headings relevant to your topic OR use a subject heading link in an article record to search for more articles with that heading. The Using Subject Headings tutorial below explains it better.
