THTR 363: Beginning Costume Development and Analysis: Images in Books & eBooks

Use UP Library Search to find books, streaming videos, online resources, journal articles, and much more (Search Tips). Need help? See handouts for Finding Books on the Shelf and Requesting Clark Library and Summit Items online.

Try adding the following words to your search to find books that include images:

• Pictorial
• Photograph*
• Illustration*

The * will help you to find variations of those words (photograph* will find: photograph, photographs, photography)

Books in these locations in the library are likely to contain many images:

• Children's Literature
• Oversize

Use broad search terms, such as:

Clothing

Fashion

Instead of searching for specific clothing items:

Hoop skirts

Ankle boots

When searching for synonyms, OR must be capitalized:

example: Clothing OR fashion

To search by century:

Use numbers:19th century instead of words: nineteenth century

-or-

Search by the name for your time period: Elizabethan, Victorian, Restoration, etc
