Books & eBooks
Books provide in-depth coverage of a topic, sometimes from multiple perspectives. However, you may not find an entire book on your research topic. Look for books that contain chapters that deal with your topic.
Searching individual e-collections will help you find specific chapters that apply to your research topic, because unlike the Library Catalogue, in the following eBook collections, you can search the entire text of eBooks, not just their titles, authors and broad subject areas.
