Welcome

This is a guide to selected sources of information on children, families, adolescents, adults, child development, the role of the family, family finance, and public policy available in the URI libraries. To find additional information, conduct a Subject search in the catalog using subject headings such as FAMILIES, CHILD DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC POLICY, FINANCE and ADULTHOOD.

Where to Start Your Book Search

There are three main places to start your search for books. Each has a different specialty and scope.

URI Libraries Search
- This link opens in a new window
Locate books, videos, online resources and more available through the URI Libraries.

WorldCat.org
- This link opens in a new window
Freely available version of WorldCat, listing books and other materials in member libraries worldwide. Updated daily.

Google Books
- This link opens in a new window
Offers 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.org

Much like Google Books, this contains scans of a variety of books held in libraries internationally.
