About Books

Books cover a variety of topics. For research purposes, you will probably be looking for books that synthesize the information on one topic to support a particular argument or thesis. Libraries organize and store their book collections on shelves called “stacks." Each book has an address or call number that you can use to locate it on the shelf.
