Where to Start Your Book Search
There are two main places to start your search for books. Each has a different specialty and scope.
-
URI Libraries SearchLocate books, videos, online resources and more available through the URI Libraries.
-
WorldCat.orgFreely available version of WorldCat, listing books and other materials in member libraries worldwide. Updated daily.
For a broader but less precise search, try the tools below.
-
Google BooksOffers a somewhat random search of books scattered across the country. Some full text searching of books, and some full text viewing of out-of-copyright materials. You may be able to request books viewed via Interlibrary Loan.
-
Archive.orgMuch like Google Books, this contains scans of a variety of books held in libraries internationally.
