ENGRD - English Reading Research Guide

Research strategies and links to resources for English Reading students.

Books

Books typically provide extensive coverage on one topic or theme. Subject-specific reference books can provide you with background information as well as the historical context of your topic.

  • Circulating Books may be checked out for use outside the library.
  • Electronic Books (ebooks) are always available and may be viewed on any computer with an internet connection, on or off campus.
  • Reference Books are available for use in the library, but not for checkout.

Write down the call number of the print books in your search results to help you locate the books on the shelf, and to give you an idea of where to browse for similar titles.

Public Libraries

Popular best-sellers, self-help books, repair manuals, and the like are found in public libraries. If you don't already use your local public library, we highly encourage you to visit your nearest one to check out the great resources they have to offer. Our librarians are happy to help you find information on your local library, so you can visit one soon.
