George A. Spiva Library

FIND BOOKS

Books are great sources of overviews, histories, and comparisons, and provide more in-depth coverage than articles. Because it takes a while to research, write, and publish a book, books about recent events may not be immediately available.

In Spiva Library

To find books available in Spiva Library use the SWAN (Southwest Academic Network) Online Catalog.
