Muddled History? Clio Notes to the Rescue

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

EBSCO’s America: History & Life and Historical Abstracts article databases have added Clio Notes to their interfaces. Clio Notes allows researchers to navigate detailed historical chronologies and subject themes, and launch searches into one of the two EBSCO history databases. It is a great way to quickly get oriented to an historical topic or era, such as the Vietnam War, the Great Depression, Boxer Rebellion in China, Spanish conquest of the Americas, Arab-Israeli wars, or the Fall of the Berlin Wall–to mention only a few of the hundreds of topics represented, and improve your searching.  Try it when you’re feeling muddled in history!
