Books are a great resource to use when searching for general information on a topic. They are useful for understanding a topic in its context and provide summaries of existing research as well as offer a historical perspective.
Books are best located using the Search feature in our Library Catalogue.
If McMaster Library does not own a book that interests you, you can request it through RACER, our interlibrary loan system.
