Appalachian Bibliography

Another way to find information about Appalachia is to use the Appalachian Bibliography.  Librarians have compiled a list articles, books, and other resources about the Appalachian region.  The bibliography is split into two sections by date.  Each section can be viewed as a pdf or in html.  The latter is better for browsing by subject.  Once you have the citation for the book, article, or other entry in the bibliography, you must search the library catalog to get either the call number; a link to get to the full text; or other instructions on getting to the content.
