Use Google Scholar to find scholarly information on the Web.
Use books to read broad overviews and detailed discussions of your topic. You can also use books to find primary sources, which are often published together in collections.
You'll use the library catalog to search for books, ebooks, articles, and more.
If you need materials (books, articles, recordings, videos, etc.) that you cannot find in the library catalog, use our interlibrary loan service.
If you're working from off campus, you'll need to sign in unless you are already signed in to Canvas or your email.
