Overview vs. Monograph

An Overview is a book which addresses a time period such as America in the Age of the Titans: The Progessive Era and World War I. Use the index to find your topic; it may be a chapter or just a few pages. An overview is meant to place your topic within the context of the time and larger world.

A Monograph is a book which addresses your specific topic. If you are researching a person, a monograph could be a biography of the person. If you are researching an event, a monograph might be Red Scare: A Study in National Hysteria, 1919-1920.
