Global Events: Books
Why Use Books?
The libraries of Atlantic Cape contain thousands of print and eBook titles.
Scholarly books contain in-depth authoritative information with extensive accounts of research, historical data and views by experts on the subject
- Use the Table of Contents for a general idea of the topics covered.
- Books will contain a bibliography of materials used by the author that may provide a guide to additional relevant sources on the subject.
- The index will list the specific subjects, events, dates and other detailed terms related to the contents of the book. The index is also a good place to see subject terms and keywords that might be helpful to refine your search.
- In some instances, books take considerable time to write and publish and are not always the best source for a current topic.
