Using Books for Researching Literature

Books and chapters in books are one key way that scholars in literature and other humanities fields publish their research. At Shippensburg University, there are extensive literature holdings spread between the print collections on the upper level and the eBook holdings within various databases at Lehman Library.

The most efficient way to view the library's book holdings (in both print and eBook) is to use the ShipLibrary Discovery Service (recently renamed ED), and limit your results to books. For assistance in finding a book, contact Ashley Esposito, anesposito@ship.edu, or ask any research librarian at Lehman Library (including through chat!).
