Use Library Search's ADVANCED SEARCH to find book on your topic in the WMU Libraries. Click on the Books and Media tab.
If you already know the title or author, use the pull-down arrow to select Title or Author.
When looking for books by topic, enter you keyword(s) into the search boxes.
SEARCH TIP: If you are using a phrase in your search, be sure to put it into quotation marks, e.g. "income inequality"
SEARCH TIP: Use an asterisk * to pick up variant endings of a word, e.g. financ* with retrieve finance, finances, financial, financing, etc.
To find books beyond what WMU has, try searching in these two databases:
Comprehensive catalog of books and other materials in libraries around the world. Contains millions of records in hundreds of languages. Items located through WorldCat must be requested through Interlibrary Loan unless they are also listed in the WMU libraries catalog. (Library Search)
Nonbook materials include (among other publication formats) journals and magazines, manuscripts, maps, electronic resources, websites, computer programs, musical scores, films, slides, sound recordings, conference proceedings, and videotapes and discs.
The Michigan eLibrary catalog and resource sharing system. Search for books and other materials in many Michigan libraries. You will need your WIN in order to request materials.
Google Books can be a good source for electronic versions of books.
