Books

Books are excellent sources for in-depth coverage, the history and chronology, or overview of a topic. They can also provide you background information and recommendations for further research. A book doesn't need to be read cover-to-cover to be used for research. To learn more about how to use books for research, visit the Cayuga Community College Library guide Using Books for Research.
