Searching with Google Books

Google Books is a useful tool to find and to search within scholarly books.

Try entering your search terms in the box above, or go to books.google.com.

This might help you to find books or book chapters relevant to your research. Most likely you will only be able to read a sample of the book via Google Books.

If you find something good, use the Hunter Libraries website to see if a Hunter or CUNY library has a copy in our collections.

If you can't get the book from Hunter, you might find it at other CUNY libraries, the New York Public Library, or order it through the Interlibrary Loan service.
