Books in the Princeton University Library can be found using the Catalog.
A way to find books that focus on the African American or Black experience is to use Advanced Search.
Put the keyword you are searching in the first line.
In second line, drop the menu to Subject. Enter either "African American" or "Black". In the Library of Congress Subject Headings used at Princeton, "African American" refers to people of African descent living in the USA; "Black" refers to people of African descent living in other parts of the world outside Africa.

The links below lead to library databases that index journal articles of interest to African American Studies. Articles+ is the most comprehensive, but you may wish to use a more focused index that provides discipline-specific results.
You may also find it useful to consult indexes in other disciplines. See the complete list.
Full-text collection of published non-fiction works is included, as well as interviews, journal articles, letters, and other materials of leading African-Americans. Biographical essays by leading scholars and an annotated bibliography of the sources in the database are also featured.
