1.3.3 Books and electronic books

Books are a good source of information. The publishing process (where a book is checked by an editor before publishing, and often reviewed by another author) means that books are reliable sources of information, although they may need to be evaluated for bias. A growing number of books can be found online.

WorldCat References to over 1 billion items in 10 000 libraries worldwide.
Internet Public Library Although covering mostly United States publications, contains many electronic books across all broad subject areas such as the natural sciences and the social sciences.
Online Medical Dictionary A searchable dictionary containing terms relating to medicine and science

To find out about other books available in your subject area, you can search library catalogues and/or online bookshops. These are listed on the Open Library page Catalogues and bookshops
