Consider how you can describe the idea of "travel." How do others describe it? This will be important not only for the class itself, but also for finding articles and other works that you find interesting and relevant. What is "travel'?
Encyclopedias are great resources to use to find different approaches to a topic, like travel. Gale Ebooks is an online collection of encyclopedias with articles representing a variety of perspectives from different disciplines. The books below are just a couple of the many available in the collection.

The databases below are good choices for finding critical articles related to travel.
Find books, media, and more using the Library's catalog. It's easy to get books from other libraries in Alaska using the Library Catalog!
By using OneSearch you can find books, articles, ebooks, media (like DVDs), and more by using a single search box.
Use Google Scholar to find citation counts and to assist you in determining the significance of a particular book or article.
We do our best to have the materials that you need for your research and study in our collection. If we don't have an item that you need, you may find it in one of the libraries that participate in the Alaska Library Catalog (which is the same as the Egan Library Catalog). If it's in the Alaska Library Catalog, then you can get the item just by placing a hold on it.
If you are using an article database or OneSearch, look for the Full Text Finder link! By using it, you may be able to find a printed copy of an article, and if we don't have it full text, it's an easy way to complete an Interlibrary loan form.
You can also get books and articles from libraries around the world using our Interlibrary loan (ILL) service.
