Introduction to Research

HACC Library: Books and Media Catalog Search (Opens in New Page)

The HACC Library: Books and Media catalog is a searchable database of books, periodical titles, and audio-visual material available at Harrisburg Area Community College.

 

Why use books?

Books are excellent sources for information such as:      

• in-depth coverage of a subject        

• history and chronology      

• overview of a big topic        

• background information          

• bibliographies of additional sources. 

A book doesn't need to be read cover-to-cover to be used for research.
