Enrich your research by searching for books beyond the UVM Libraries. For books not owned by the UVM Libraries, you may borrow books from other libraries by using the Interlibrary Loan service.

In addition to the databases above, consider:
Book Reviews: Article databases frequently index book reviews. If you find a review (or citation for a review) for a book that looks useful or interesting, check the library catalog to see if the library owns it.
Bibliographies:  Scholarly journal articles, scholarly encyclopedia essays, and academic-oriented books will provide bibliographies or lists for further reading. If you find a book that looks useful or interesting, check the library catalog to see if the library owns it. These are indeed the "low hanging fruit" during the research process!
