Google Books can be used in very interesting ways to find books about a subject. Because of the vast number of books being digitized, you can find references to subjects that you could never otherwise find. Try searching on a name (author) or a topic, or even a passage (quotation). You will be amazed at what you can find.

  • You can also verify electronic access to a particular journal by consulting the library's E-Journals Page.
