Search the catalog for books on your topic using the library catalog; identify two or three promising options and then browse the shelves. Be prepared to broaden your search terms if necessary. It may be that the library doesn’t have a book that is entirely devoted to your topic. Instead ask yourself “what sort of book might include information on my topic?” Note here one of the books you found, indicating author, title, place, publisher and date.

Search for articles on your topic using Academic Search Premier (found under the Articles tab).

Articles tend to be far more specifically focused than books; be prepared to narrow your search terms – but perhaps broader than what you use when searching Google. If you want scholarly (peer reviewed) journals, choose that option under the search boxes or on the side of your results. Note here one of the articles you found, indicating author, title, journal, volume, date, and pages.
