Books and book chapters are great places to find background or introductory information on a topic.
If we don't have a book or article you need, use ILLIAD (the interlibrary loan service) to request it for free.
If we don't have access to a resource that's valuable in your field, to suggest a title or resource that the Libraries will consider for purchasing.
Do a search in, Libraries Search, for books and ebooks owned by SU Libraries. After searching, limit to Book/ebook in the left column of your results.
These book collections are freely accessible and will be available to you even after you leave SU.
