The following references are provided for students taking
Prof. Robert Zieger's AMH 3930: Race & Labor in Modern America. As labor history is a huge subject, it is
important to learn methods for searching library catalogs for information. The following search strings are based on
standard Library of Congress subject headings for cataloging entries, and
should work for any state or place. In the U.F. library catalog you will want to choose "Basic Search, Browse Organized Lists."
Subject, LC: labor--state
or country name
Subject, LC: working
class--state or country name
Subject, LC: labor
unions--state or country name
Subject, LC: migrant
labor--state or country name
Subject, LC: agricultural
laborers--state or country name
Subject, LC: convict
labor--state or country name
You must use the double dash as
part of your string. Otherwise the
search engine will not process the query properly.
