Circulating books are books that can be checked out of the library. Books in the circulating collection frequently have a narrative format and they will normally give you a more in-depth treatment of a subject than reference books. Keep in mind that it takes about a year for a book to be published so if you are looking for information on current events you will need to look at periodicals (covered in the next section).

If you find a book that might be useful remember to make use of the index to find the information that you need. You may not have to read the whole book. Nor does the whole book have to be relevant to your topic in order for it to be useful. Very often the author will include a list of the works he or she used to compile the book. Take a look at this if you need ideas for more sources. This applies to reference books as well.

Through the library you have access to books across all subject ranges including telecommunications, the humanties, the sciences, computer hardware and software, and history.
