Books
Journal articles typically present the most up-to-date information. However, books can be useful resources when you need more background information or would like a comprehensive overview on a topic. Remember that it is usually not necessary to read an entire book. Often a few chapters, a diagram, or an essay within a book can be very useful! Use the ICC Library On-Line Catalog to search for books by title, author, or keyword.
