Introduction

This section is designed to help you locate books on your chosen subject. When you are starting your research, we recommend that you start by finding reference books. These books can help you gain a working knowledge of your topic. Reference books contain broad factual overviews of a subject and will help you refine your research topic.

Non-reference books contain more specific, in-depth coverage of a given subject. To access these books, you can browse the library's collection or use the online catalog to perform a search for books on your particular topic. A reference librarian can show you how to perform a subject heading search, which is a particularly effective way to locate books on a specific topic.

We welcome your input! If you feel we should add a book to our collection, use the link at the bottom of this page to share your suggestion.
