Today is the 66th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. As an example of the resources your library offers you, if you were researching Pearl Harbor, we have:- Many books, dozens and dozens, on Pearl Harbor, the beginnings of WWII, the events that led to it etc.
- Articles? Lots, hundreds of them, easily! You could go to the NY Times Historical site, for articles from 1941. Academic Search would have many full text articles, as would JSTOR. America: History and Life, would be important too. It indexes a very wide range of history journals, and also points to chapters in books, book reviews, and PhD dissertations.
