Searching for Books at BCC Libraries
Use the library catalog to find print books, electronic books, and streaming videos. You can borrow materials from any school in the HELM network and request to pick it up at any Bristol LLC location as long as you have activated your library card.
Type your keywords into the search box on the library home page, then hit enter. You will be searching not only Bristol titles, but books in the entire HELM Catalog.
Make sure the search bar is set to Bristol Community College if you only want to see our materials!
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.
