This training event, held in collaboration with specialist staff from the Combined Classics Library at the ICS, will provide an introduction to essential resources for research in the broad fields of Classics, Archaeology and Ancient History, along with less well-known and underutilised specialist databases and collections.
Resources and topics covered include:
- Advanced use of catalogues, online dictionaries (e.g. OCD), lexicons, encyclopaedias (Brill’s New Pauly; LIMC), and abbreviations (OCD; L’Année philologique; papyri).
- How to use online text-searching databases (e.g. Loeb Classical Library; PHI Latin; Greek TLG).
- Bibliographical resources (e.g. Zenon DAI; Gnomon datenbank).
- Resources for epigraphy and papyri (e.g. CIL; IG; ZPE; Eagle).
- How to find and use maps, gazetteers and topographical resources (e.g. Barrington Atlas; Pelagios).
- And much more!
