Books
Books cover virtually any topic,
fact or fiction. You may find books that cover your research
question, and others in which only a chapter or two is relevant. It's not cheating
to only read and use the chapters that relate to your topic.
NCC
Libraries organize and store most of the book collection on shelves called
"stacks." The stacks are located in the main area of
the library.
