You can search for physical books, e-books and book chapters in LibrarySearch. Login and search in it using search words (keywords) that describe your topic, then refine your results to 'Books' and 'Book chapters' under Resource Type. If you only want online resources (e.g. e-books and online book chapters), further limit your results to 'Online' under Show Only.

• Combine your keywords with AND to find all the search words.
• Use OR to find any of the words (e.g. synonyms, abbreviations vs full names, related words).
• Find "exact phrases" with quotation marks.
• Add an asterisk * to part of a word to find different endings and plurals.
