I Need to Find Book Sources for My Research
Think about your topic, in general terms. Brainstorm some descriptive terms (keywords) from your broad topic. Enter the term and click "Keyword." Look at the list of books on your search results. Identify a few titles that you may possibly be interested in.
Find the book(s) on the shelves by the call number on the spine of the book. To help you get an idea of what the contents of the book include, look in the book for the Index (usually at the back of the book). The Index is an alphabetical listing of the books' contents. Also look for the Table of Contents (usually at the front of the book) which lists Chapter Content.
A few questions to consider include: Are the contents of the book what you need? The whole book or just a few chapters? Is the date of publication relevant to your search? (copyright or publication information is on the Copyright Page, usually found on the back of the Title Page.)
