Books often provide more detail and are more expansive than academic articles. Sometimes they are collections of papers or essays that are essentially what you would find as an academic article.

There are growing number of e-books you can get as a member of the Temple community. Visit the page for databases of e-books, or use this form:

Diamond: Library Catalog

The Diamond library catalog is the main tool for books in the Temple University Libraries system. The system uses the Library of Congress classification system, which uses letters and numbes to arrange books. Psychology is generally in the area of the call letters BF, social psychology HM, medically based topics in RC and RJ for child development.

EZ-Borrow Requests

EZBorrow is a tool for searching and requesting books you know the title of from academic libraries primariy in Pennsylvania. The service can usually deliver a book that is available in about 4-5 days.

PsycINFO (via EBSCOhost | via Ovid ) can also be used to find information about books. Limit the "Publication type" to "All books" and put in keywords describing your topic.

Google Books Search the full-text of books. You won't be able to view more than a couple pages of most of the books, but if you can use the search capabilities here to identify relevant books that you can then look-up in the library.
