There are several major types of information sources available to students through the ACC Library in  print and digital form. The tabs along the top of the page provide details on the different types of resources listed below:

 

Books

You will find a large selection of philosophy books in our book collection. A book can provide detailed background and in-depth historical information about any given topic.

 

Reference

This covers encyclopedias, atlases, and other resources that are referred to for specific information. Go to these for definitions, shorter explanations, historical and biographical sketches, background or overviews, and statistical data.

Websites

The internet provides a vast array of good information from reputable organizations, professional associations, government entities, and scholars. However, there is a lot of unreliable information on the Web, so evaluate sources and content critically.
