Finding Books on Your Topic
Once you have chosen a topic and done your background research you will be ready to conduct more comprehensive research using books.
Use the Library Catalog to find books. Books can provide a broad overview of a topic or in-depth information. You can search the catalog by author, title, subject, or keyword. Enclose any multi-word term in quotes, e.g., "Social conflict" or "gender identity." After doing an initial search, you may improve your results by using the "Refine Your Results" column on the left.
Here are a few examples of Ebooks which can be found by searching the catalog. Ebooks require a login for off-campus use. Enter your Cerritos College login when prompted. For more login information see the Database Login page.
