Regardless of some of the controversy surrounding Google Books, this resource can be a great tool to use for research papers. All you’ll need to do is type in a keyword describing what you are looking for and a list of books will appear on the screen. Many older books are all online, but not all appear in their entirety (some have a chapter or two for you to preview). Google Books is also a great way to preview a book before you might want to buy it!
