CLASSICAL STUDIES : ancient mediterraenean culture IN A MODERN WORLD
Classical Studies is an interdisciplinary field examining the vanished civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome and their languages. While the study of the Greek and Latin languages no longer holds a central place in a university curriculum, the art, literature, and intellectual traditions of the classical world remain basic to Western civilization. Today's student may encounter the classical world through the many fine translations available, the physical evidence of art and archaeology, and the study of the Greek and Latin languages themselves.
“OMNIA MIHI LINGUA GRAECA SUNT” IS A FAMOUS ANCIENT ROMAN QUOTE.

Finding Books & Media
Finding Books & MediaIUCAT
Use
IUCAT, Indiana University's Online Library Catalog, to search the
records of books, journals, DVDs, and other materials that Indiana
University Libraries hold. Remember that you can request an item from
most libraries in the Indiana University Library system by clicking on
the Request It button next to an item's record. If not, you can request it through interlibrary loan. Search Tips
When browsing the catalog, always start with a keyword
search. When you find a record to a book that is on point, look at the
subject headings associated with it. Subject headings, unlike
keywords, are standardized words or phrases (meaning that the order of the words matters)
assigned to books, articles or other materials. They describe as well
as to bring together materials that are similar in subject matter.
When you find the right subject heading, and search on it, you increase
the precision of your search results. To run a subject heading search
in IUCAT, either click on the hotlink in the record or start a new
search in the Advanced Search form being sure to change the search parameters by selecting subject from the drop-down menu.
