A bibliography is a list of books, articles, and/or chapters on a specific subject. Bibliographies can be made for a specific piece of writing (an essay) or developed around a particular subject. This subject can be a specific period of history (for example, the Middle Ages) or a specific geographic region (such as the British Isles and Ireland), or a specific theme (for example, LGBTQ* history). They do not always provide full text, so you may have to do a second search to find out whether the material you've found is available in the library.
Consulting a bibliography is a fast and convenient way to find appropriate secondary reading for your essay, assignment or dissertation. If you have any questions or feel like you're getting stuck, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
