Suggested Duke Libraries Search Strategies

Subject searches:

  •  refugees "north carolina"
    • Then, you may need to use the facets on the left side of the results page to limit to "north carolina" as a Place or 20th century as a "About Time Period"

 

A more scoped search would be to use the "Books and Media" portal on the Duke Libraries' homepage, search for specific refugee populations using this format:
