  • Jews--Spain--History
  • Judaism--Spain--History
  • Jews--Spain--Identity
  • Spain--History--711-1516
  • Spain--Intellectual Life -- 711-1516

WorldCat & Google Books

Not finding enough, or an item checked out? Search WorldCat Discovery and request a copy.

You can also search the full text of millions of books in Google Books and then use Interlibrary Loan/WorldCat to get the whole book.

**Here's a little trick! Find the specific area in the library where your topic would be found. If there are not enough books in that area to satisfy you, MOVE TO THE LEFT. Classification systems in the library move to the right from the general to the more specific. If you move to the left, you will move UP in the hierarchy to the more general discipline out of which your topic lives.**
