Books

There are two primary ways to identify books. One is searching through catalogs, like the KU Libraries Catalog and WorldCat. The other is to utilize bibliographies from books and articles. Once you have a title of a work, use these catalogs to see KU owns it. If not order it through Interlibrary Loan.

KU Libraries Catalog
Use the KU Libraries Catalog to identify materials here on campus. Use a Keyword search to start--then look at subject headings to find more specific titles

WorldCat
WorldCat can be used to identify sources not in the KU collection. Use Interlibrar Loan to request what you find. But remember, this takes time and not everything can be loaned.
Ebook Central
Provides authoritative, credible e-books from scholarly publishers. Access is also available to mobile devices
Google book search
Google Books is a great place to do keyword searching on topics within monographs.
HathiTrust digital library
Digitized material from various American libraries. Full-text view is available for materials not under copyright.

Internet Archive
This website contains access to a variety of format and materials. Be sure to use the advanced search--otherwise you might feel overwhelmed.
