Using Books for Research
- Books provide in-depth coverage of a topic
- Books offer essential background information, which can help you to contextualize new issues pertaining to the topic
- Books provide valuable insight even if only a portion of the content is used
- Books can lead you to other relevant sources through their bibliographies
Find Books and E-books in the Library Catalog
Set up a search in the library catalog, and then filter your results to include eBooks. The default will include results from additional libraries in the HELIN network. Note: We can borrow print books from HELIN libraries, but we are unable to borrow eBooks. If you see an eBook you would like to borrow from another library, contact your library liaison to see if we can locate a print edition that you can request via interlibrary loan.

McKillop Library subscribes to multiple eBook "vendors" to give you access to a rich collection of titles for your research. Some of these may be better suited to sources outside the study of Nursing and Healthcare. Explore the sub-page, All About eBooks, located on the left navigation panel.
