How to research religious objects and their devotional and religious significance.
Books
Search the UCR Library Catalog (Scotty)
- Refine searches using Subject Headings, if needed
- Select titles that are relevant
- Write down locations and call numbers
- Use call number maps to find specific floors where the books you need are located
Tips
Use * to find various endings of a word: e.g. altar* will find altar, altars and altarpiece.
If you find a book in Scotty that says "ill." in the Description line, then it includes images or illustrations.
Check the bibliographies or lists of references in books for leads to other resources.
