To browse the shelves for books in philosophy, try the B range. It will be useful to begin with a few complete call numbers for a few books found via UNB WorldCat above.
You will discover, for example, that most of the books on Hume will be together on the shelf, as will the general books on continental philosophy, etc.
Note: To find a chapter in a scholarly edited collection (which is a book, not a journal), check off the “book” box in UNB WorldCat. Do NOT choose "Chapter".
When researching a new topic it is often necessary to get an overview, explanations of unfamiliar terms, or brief factual information.
To find additional reference materials, check our Reference Materials database, or browse the B section of the Reference Stacks (HIL-REF) on the main floor of the Harriet Irving Library.
"The unique feature of this dictionary is that it is organized by handshape rather than by alphabetical order. An American Sign Language learner can look up an unfamiliar sign by looking for the handshape rather than by looking up the word in an alphabetical English glossary. At the same time, an English speaker can look up a sign for a specific word by looking at the Index of English Glossaries located at the end of the dictionary. The introduction includes a history of sign language in the United States. Detailed instructions explain the organization of the handshape sections and the ordering of signs. The illustrations are clear and are described in terms of configuration, location, movement, orientation, and nonmanual markers".--"Outstanding Reference Sources: the 1999 Selection of New Titles", American Libraries, May 1999.

This database provides information about over 2.4 million dissertation and theses citations, from around the world, from 1861 to the present day.
"Searchable and browsable database of dissertations and theses from around the world, spanning from 1743 to the present day. It also offers full text for graduate works added since 1997, along with selected full text for works written prior to 1997. It contains a significant amount of new international dissertations and theses both in citations and in full text. Includes citations for dissertations and theses from around the world, ranging from 1861 to those accepted last semester. Dissertations published from 1980 forward include 350-word abstracts; master's theses from 1988 forward include 150-word abstracts. Digital dissertations and theses are archived as submitted by the degree-granting institution. Designated as an official offsite repository for the U.S. Library of Congress, PQDT Global offers comprehensive historic and ongoing coverage for North American works and significant and growing international coverage from a multiyear program of expanding partnerships with international universities and national associations."
