Locating the GREENWOOD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN REGIONAL CULTURES

The Greenwood Encyclopedia of American Regional Cultures is a recommended source to use when you begin your research.  It has 8-volumes; one for each region of the country.  The print copies can be found in the REFERENCE COLLECTION located on the first floor of Zahnow Library.  Since it is a reference book, it cannot be checked out.  Its call number is: REF F591.G75 2004.  There is no electronic book format (ebook) available for this title.
