WRIT 112 - Fall 2019 - Mendoza: Books

Research in Books

Depending on your topic, you may use information in books in a variety of ways--to provide context, for historical analysis, for theories. Since books take time to write and publish, the information may not be as recent. However, books are great resources for in-depth coverage of a subject, history and chronology, overview of a big topic, background information, and bibliographies of additional sources.
