Search the TCC Library Catalog
The TCC Library holds thousands of e-books relevant to topics in immigration. You can find books about immigration history and policy in the United States and in other parts of the world. You can also find books about the immigrant experience, the politics and economics of immigration, the ethics and human rights of immigration, and much more.*
To start, and find out what kind of books you might be interested in, you can search using a single key word: immigration
*Note that books take a while to write and publish, so they are not often as up-to-date as a government webpage! Books are a great resource for exploring a topic in-depth, often with historical content, and are not intended to provide information about current changes. If you need current up-to-date information about immigration policy and law, see the collection of resources linked in the rest of this guide.
