Finding Scholarly Books

The ZSR library catalog is the best place to locate scholarly books and ebooks for your project.  

As you start to search in the library catalog, or the databases, think of the different keywords, terms, and phrases you can use to find the sources you are looking for, and use Boolean operators such as * and OR to expand your results:

  • sustain*=sustain, sustains, sustainable, sustainability, sustaining, etc...
  • sustain* OR eco* OR environment* means that any variation of these words is an appropriate search result

When you use the advanced search option, think of each line as a different part of your question or topic.  As shown below, there is a line for tourism and travel, a line for what specific aspect of travel we are looking at (sustainability and ecology), and a line for the location we are interested in (Italy, and specifically, Venice).

After you see the results from your search, you may want to limit to just print books or to just ebooks.  You can do this by selecting the filter for "books" and the filter for either "available online" or "available in the library."
