ENGL 235: Technical Writing : Books
Why use books in Technical Writing?
Why Use Books in Your Research?
The Library owns many print books and has access to electronic books (e-books) on your topic. Books are good for providing more in-depth information or putting the issue in context -- but be sure to check how current the information is.
TIP: Don't read the ENTIRE book, just the chapters and pages that are relevant to your topic. Use the table of contents or the index at the back of the book to help you find relevant chapters or pages.
