HELM Catalog

Ebooks

BCC Libraries subscribe to collections of high quality, full-text books that you can view in their entirety online. Each of the links below describes the content; make sure you have your BCC campus card hand so you can provide your library ID# when/if prompted.

Why should I look in books?

Why should you do research in books?

  • Books provide in-depth coverage of a topic
  • Books often provide valuable background information on a topic
  • Books can also provide an overview of all issues pertaining to a topic
  • Books can lead readers to other sources through their bibliographies

You do not necessarily have to read an entire book for every research paper you have to do.  Utilize the index and the chapter titles to narrow down which section of the book is most pertinent to your research.
