Books can be very helpful when you need in-depth information about a topic. Think old, well-established information.
For example, maybe you just need to get a handle on the basics of marketing strategies. Again, use keywords to get a variety of results on that topic. Then, limit the results in your list to Books.

2. add "social media" - notice your results are fewer yet more specific.
3. Limit to Books.
4. Review Table of Contents, Location, Status, and Call Number.
5. Copy the call number of this book and use the Call Number Locator tool to find it.
6. Citation Generator & Permalink
The call number of a library item is similar to a home address.
Copy and paste any call number you find in WorldCat Discovery to see where it lives in the library.
