Do I Really Need to Use Books?

Jean Baptiste Camille Corot Interrupted Reading 1870 Art Institute Chicago

Books can provide different and more detailed information about your topic.
  • Books can provide more complete or historical information
  • Books can often include additional research on a topic or offer a special in depth perspective.
  • Sometimes only a chapter or a small section of a book is needed.

As you research your topic you may want to use books. 

If your research requires in depth knowledge you may want to read one or more books completely.
