Books can be a great source for your project – both for primary source material and secondary scholarly research. RIT has a wide collection of books available on a multitude of topics.
To find scholarly texts on your topic, look for books published by university presses or well-known scholarly publishing entities such as Academic Press, Ashgate, Blackwell, Edward Elgar, Elsevier, Francis and Taylor, John Wiley, Palgrave Macmillan, Routledge, and Sage Publications.
Search RIT's library catalog using the box below:
The search above is an example of combining a proximity search ("clean water"~5) with a limitation to a publisher whose name includes the word university. Not all academic publishers have university in their name, but many do and this is a starter search to help you explore the possibilities.
Use of RIT resources is reserved for current RIT students, faculty
and staff for academic and teaching purposes only.
Please contact your librarian with any questions.
