The Heroes Treasure Hunt
Guide to Finding Resources
The following is a guide
to steer you toward resources that will provide the information you need to
complete your hero project. These are basically the same strategies as used in
the deity assignment earlier this semester with a few additions. You may need to
devise searches to find information on your particular hero. If you need
assistance, please ask your instructor or a librarian for assistance.
Printed Resources
LIBROS online catalog will direct you to print
resources
Below are suggested search strings to perform WORD searches
in LIBROS:
greek* and hero*
hero or heros
myth* and (greek* or greco)
classic* and literature
To find specifically what is in UNM-LAs library, limit your search to
UNM-Los Alamos.
Perform a title search on "oxford classical dictionary" to find the
call number for this source.
Browsing the shelves
Browse the following sections in the book stacks for additional resources you
were not able to find using LIBROS.
