Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) is a great place to find background information on a wide variety of topics, from specialty academic encyclopedias.
Once you've found general, background information on your topic, it's time to find more in-depth information. One way is to find books that you can check out at the TCC Library or e-books that you can read online. You can search the library catalog for books by doing a keyword search (e.g., "bilingual education" or "drug abuse") by clicking the link below.
Google Books can be a good place to search for books. Many of them will offer "Previews" that are often quite generous and you may be able to find what you need from the previewed material.
