University Libraries - Which library in the USA has the best and largest collection of academic historical books in its search engine?
I’m not sure if that’s phrased correctly.
But basically I love reading lots of history of all eras. And I’m trying to move past reading your usual pop history books you get on Amazon. I like reading dry, academic books that have much more detail about an era than the usual pop history books.
The thing is my local universities library search engine can be a little frustrating to go through. For example it glitches when I select library selection only and no articles, ends up showing me both. Or has a limited selection for each era. Better than the usual public library but still not much. Google doesn’t really help in that regard. It’s hard finding a way to find academic texts.
So what university has a good search engine. One that that is
Very structured and gives you the most relevant results.
Has a large collection for you to choose from.
Again I like reading lots of history such as Ancient Rome, Medieval Europe, Christianity, French Revolution, Napoleon, etc. Basically mostly western history. I also love reading about Esotericism so if it can also have a good selection of that it’d be awesome.
Thanks in advance!
