Books
Books cover
virtually any topic, fact or fiction. For research purposes, you
will probably be looking for books that synthesize all the information
on one topic.
Libraries
organize and store their book collections on shelves called "stacks."
A few books are now available electronically on the Internet (e-books)
and are purchased by your library.
