The Research Advisory Tool is an annotated database of reference resources in Theology and Religious Studies, in particular on the Second Vatican Council.

The reference material on the crusades can be found in the Religious Studies/Philosophy Library located on the 3rd floor of Mullen Library.  These items are non-circulating and can be found in the D 155-157 range.  Information on the crusades are also found in other areas such as Byzantine Empire, Islam, Jew, and Middle Ages; consult the Library of Congress Classification which is found below.

Circulating material on the crusades (D 151-194) and military warfare (D 128 range and U 37 range) can be found in the Mullen Library stacks.  The latest issues of current periodicals dealing with Church History are arranged in alphabetical order by title. They are located in the south wing of the 3rd floor. 
Many journal articles are available online at CU e-journals.  Check the WRLC catalog for material that could be applicable to your topic.
