Finding Books

Because archaeology encompasses many issues and fields, materials can be found under several Library of Congress (LC) Subject Headings. Unfortunately, there is not a specific subject heading to address mortuary archaeology. When searching the UALR Ottenheimer Library online catalog, possible LC Subject Headings include the following:

Funeral Rites and Ceremonies
(Human Remains) Archaeology

Keyword searching might find some additional resources.

Library Catalogs and Interlibrary Loan

If the UALR Ottenheimer Library does not have the books you need, it is possible to search libraries across the country for books of interest using WorldCat. It is recommended that you begin searching in WorldCat with the same terms used in our catalog, expecting a much larger set of results.

Materials found in WorldCat can be requested via Interlibrary Loan.

WorldCat
Provides information on worldwide library holdings of books, periodicals, theses, dissertations, media and other material.

Borrow from Another Library / Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan services allow researchers to obtain materials held by other libraries around the world. Whether or not an item is loaned is determined by the owning library. For additional information please consult our Interlibrary Loan Guide.
