Guide to Resources on Israel and Zionism

This guide is intended to serve as a starting point for those seeking information pertaining to the history of the land of Israel, the current modern State of Israel, and the history of Zionism.  It is not meant to be comprehensive. While there are several references to resources on the Palestinians and the Jewish-Arab conflict, most of the  resources in guide focus on Israel as a Jewish State. This guide includes items in print and digital formats.

Resources owned by the University Libraries can be accessed through Minerva the Libraries' online catalog. You may search Minerva by author, title, subject, keywords, etc. Subjects may be searched by using either the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS SUBJECT HEADINGS or with keywords. Minerva lists books and journals for all three libraries: the University Library, the Dewey University Library and the Science Library, as well as several sublocations such as REF or IMC. The location "ULIB" is for University Library, the location "DEWEY" is for Dewey Library, and the location "SCIENCE" is for the Science Library. Most books on women in Judaism are housed in the University Library. Minerva also indicates if a book is on order or on loan (and when it is due back). If a book you need is on loan, you may request that it be returned for you (Select Request Forms on the University Libraries homepage.)

Note: Books or articles not owned by the University Libraries can be requested through InterLibrary Loan. ILLiad is an integrated interlibrary loan service through which you can request materials from remote libraries. Many requests can be handled electronically, with articles delivered directly to your email account. Accounts can be set up easily online through the Library's homepage listed under "Library Services" or go directly to ILLiad
