Librarian
Welcome!
This guide is intended as a research resource that you will use and return to as often as necessary while you conduct independent historical investigations for HIST 4463: The French Revolution: Liberty and Death, 1789-1804. It provides both access to general resources about the French Revolution and guidance for finding primary sources.
If you get stuck or find yourself in need of a little more assistance than this guide offers, please do not hesitate to make an individual research appointment with myself or another reference librarian.
Getting Started
Borrowing Items
To borrow items from the library, you will need your BGSU ID card. Undergraduate students can check out books for 3 weeks and renew up to 6 times. For more information of borrowing ideas, please click here.
Off-campus access
Students, faculty, and staff have 24/7 access to all library databases from anywhere. To access off-campus, simply login with your BGSU username and password and authentic with a push notification.
Helpful tip: Your BGSU username and password for UL access will be the same as you MyBGSU account.
Requesting Materials from Other Libraries
BGSU has access to a large amount of print and on-line resources, but don't have it all. However, chances are you will still be able to access the resource via OhioLink or other libraries across the country. Requesting a item is super simple, just look for the "Request this item" link in Summon or the catalog and enter in the required information. If you are requesting a physical book, you will get an email to your BGSU email indicating the item has arrived and you can pick it up. If you requested an article, you will get an email with a link and directions on how to access it.
