Welcome to Part II of the Research Assignment for HIST 105. In Part I you used contemporary primary sources (e-newspaper articles) and tertiary sources (encyclopedias) to help select and learn about your chosen issue of contemporary relevance. You analyzed these sources, learned how to properly cite such sources, and used them to create initial research questions.
In Part II, you will begin to investigate the historical roots of that contemporary issue using secondary sources. More specifically, you will locate two monographs (full-length books) and two scholarly journal articles.

Part II – Secondary Source Analysis: Monographs and Scholarly Articles
Question 1 = Monographs
As you might imagine, monographs are considerably longer and often more broadly focused than newspaper articles or encyclopedia entries. More and more books are becoming available electronically through the WSU (washington state university) Libraries.
Perform a search in Search It (WSU’s central book database). Type in your keyword(s) or phrase(s) in the search box. Refine your results to “Print Books” or “eBooks” (see left side limiters). If you are retrieving too many irrelevant books, change your search from “Any” to “in the title” in the advanced search interface. IMPORTANT: Your book must centrally address pre-1980 history related to your topic and research question(s).
Search It contains 100s of millions of records. It labels a large amount of its holdings as “books” even though many are not technically books. Books, as appropriate for this assignment, include (but are not limited to) items published by popular or university presses. Avoid items published by government agencies (considered primary sources), unpublished dissertations, materials available on microform, and material labeled “Text Resources.” [see Part II: Database Specific Video Tutorials] Additionally, you should also avoid tertiary sources, including encyclopedias.
In your LRA2 Word doc and under Question 1, provide the correct Chicago-style bibliographic citation for two topic relevant books (label them 1A and 1B). Note differences between single- and multi-authored books.
If you’re going to use books for research, then simply having records and brief descriptions won’t be sufficient. You will need to obtain physical copies of the books themselves, unless you find appropriate ebooks .
In your LRA2 Word doc, and under each book citation (1A and 1B), enter the library location (e.g., Holland/Terrell Libraries) and call number (e.g., HD34 .B338) for your two books from the “Available at” information bar or under the “Availability and Request Options” link. Also, enter the Permalink URL for your book (Go to “Availability and Request Options” > “Actions” > “Permalink”). For electronic books, only enter the Permalink URL only (“Access Options > “Actions” > “Permalink”). In your LRA2 Word doc, enter “requested book through interlibrary loan” if you ordered your book through Summit or ILLiad and it consequently does not have a local library location and call number. Also, enter the Permalink URL for your ordered book (Go to “Availability and Request Options” > “Actions” > “Permalink”). If you need help with any of these processes, please consult the Part II: Tips and Ideas for Finding Books in Search It library guide.
Question 2 = History Scholarly Journal Articles
All disciplines have any number of journals in which scholars publish “scholarly articles,” which are considered secondary sources in the humanities. Often, these scholarly articles are peer-reviewed, meaning other scholars read and evaluate them before they are published. This process of evaluation ensures that the journal publishes only top-quality research in the field. More or less all peer-reviewed journals are considered scholarly, but many scholarly publications do not incorporate a peer-review process for article selection. Whether peer-reviewed or not, scholarly (also referred to as academic) journals are often a central place to gather secondary sources on a topic.
In order to uncover the historical origins of your contemporary issue, it will likely be useful to start by using databases that house historical journals. One such database is JSTOR, which contains a wide range of history journals, and also published primary source materials, some of which date back to the 19th century. Another is Project Muse, which also includes a number of scholarly journals that publish in the fields of literature, American studies, education, and ethnic studies. [see Part II: Database Specific Video Tutorials]
Using JSTOR and/or Project Muse, locate TWO scholarly articles published in (a) history journal(s) in the last 25 years that can help you learn about the historical roots of your contemporary issue. Please consult the Part II: Specifics for Using JSTOR and Project Muse library guide for detailed help.
Most likely you will find relevant articles in either JSTOR or Project Muse. But, if not, you can also search Historical Abstracts for your history journal articles.
Using proper Chicago-style (notes/bibliography style), and again, bibliographic form NOT footnotes, cite two topic relevant scholarly journal articles in your LRA2 Word doc under Question 2 (2A and 2B).
Question 3 = Revising Your Research Questions
Also, you need to be sure you labeled each question clearly.
