Print Books

Print books in the library can be found by using the Filter in Tigersearch called Print Books only. In general, books related to Native Americans can be found in the ranges below:

  • E75 -> E99 - Native Americans of North America
  • E99 - Native American Tribes & Cultures

Library of Congress Subheadings do still include outdated terminology for Native Americans and Indigenous peoples - many books published on related subjects likely use the same outdated terminology. You may need to include "American Indian" as a synonym when searching for materials related to indigenous peoples to the Americas to captures research published in the past.
