How do I find information about Chicago for my Discover / Explore / Focal Point paper?
Start with the library catalog and the resources listed in these Chicago subject/topic guides. Our Chicago Collection housed in the Lincoln Park Campus Library includes reference sources, books, and films about Chicago. Try an Any Word Anywhere search in the library catalog using words for your topic and the word Chicago. The databases listed here should also have articles on Chicago topics and issues; try an advanced search with keywords about your subject in the first box and Chicago (or the name of a neighborhood, like Pilsen or Hyde Park, in addition) in the second. Finally, there are some specific web sites and digital collections that we recommend for research, so look for them listed under View All Resources in the Chicago subject/topic guides.
