Finding a related resource to the Victorian Women on Women collection:
Mulock-Craik mentions the Edinburgh Review, so we wanted to search for a resource related to that. We went to the IU Libraries webpage and clicked on IUCAT. We limited the search to the Lilly Library and put Edinburgh Review in the title. We found a book titled Critical and historical essays, contributed to the Edinburgh review by Thomas Babington Macaulay published in 1852. We found the call number, which is PR463.A1. We also looked in the card catalogue in the Lilly Reading Room. There are drawers with green labels for manuscripts and with white labels for books. We looked up Macaulay in a drawer with a white label to find the call number and information for the book we wanted. To access this book, we would then fill out a white request slip with the title, author, and call number to give to the reading room attendant. If we had found the book on IUCAT when we were not at the Lilly Library, we could have e-mailed liblilly@indiana.edu asking them to hold the book so that it would be available when we came to the reading room.

Very thorough directions! I don't think anyone could get sidetracked or lost if they followed the path you both laid out above:)
ReplyDeleteGood directions for at the library and online. I like that you even gave us the email address of who we would need to email to request material.
