Hi Michael,

We have many sources that would help you.  Could you give me more information on your topic. Is it a particular practice or set of beliefs such as death and funeral customs? 

We have several books in the library such as

Catholicism- Call number BX1751.2 .M24 1980 Regular Loan 

The Truth of Catholicism Call number BX1754 .W39 2001 Regular Loan 

We also have several ebooks such as The New Catholic Encylopedia and the Encyclopedia of Religion.  You can search these by going to the Library homepage ( library.ncc.edu). Click on the Ebook tab and then GVRL.  Enter your search terms and the books will come up. You can pick a narrower subject from the table of contents or the index.

If you go to the ebooks tab and click on EBSCO ebooks and then enter Catholicism as your subject, you will find more ebooks on the topic.

Lastly, try one of our databases such as Academic Search Complete or the Religion and Philosophy Collection.  Enter search terms like catholic* and death or catholic* and afterlife  or whatever you are researching.    Access these databases by clicking on the Database tab on the Library homepage.

If you need more help, please reply to this email!
