Finding Books at EKU Libraries

Begin with a description of scholarly/popular/trade books as it applies to this discipline or course/assignment. Highlight specifics, such as what an anthology is for your discipline. You can use the video embedded in this box, or create your own materials (or reach out for assistance in creating a DLO as needed).

Ex: For your paper you need to find one essay in an anthology. In historical research, an anthology refers to a collection of essays, short writings, or excerpt of other sources that are focused on the same topic or historical period. The works in an anthology will be written by many different authors, and the anthology will be compiled by an editor or editors. 

Finding anthologies can be a bit tricky, as books don't necessarily tell you they are an anthology. When searching, try adding the terms "essays", "collected works", "edited works" and/or "collection" to your search.

Sometimes you may need a book that EKU Libraries doesn't have. In most cases, we can get a copy of the book for you to use. EKU Libraries has a wonderful Library Express service that can borrow materials from other libraries at no cost to you. This video tutorial will show you how to locate and request those materials.
