Finding Books

Books are a great resource for finding in-depth information on your topic, since books are often written by subject experts. They help consolidate knowledge regarding the topic and present a foundational overview. You can find both physical books and e-books through the library: you can check physical books out from the library with your student I.D. and you can often download e-books to your computer (or tablet or phone) to read. 

When you find a book, make sure to consider the author and the publication date: knowing how recent the book was written and if the author is an expert on the topic can help you determine whether the book is more useful or not for your research.


Here is a library catalog search for your convenience! Try title, author, subject, or keywords.
