Content on the Internet
Books are easy to find on the Internet as there are many reputable sites selling books and eBooks. Most scholarly books require purchase unless they have been published as an open access work or their copyright has expired. Bond students and staff can save money by checking the Library’s resources first.
Google Books and WorldCat are good options for finding books. If you need a book that is not available in the Library’s collection use the Document Delivery service to obtain a copy, or for recently published books you could suggest it for purchase.
