Amazon provides a fairly complete listing of books in-print and offers helpful reviews by professionals and customers. Their business is selling books, so don't expect them to tell you if we have the book in our library!

Use the Amazon.com - Advanced Search feature.

 
A combined online library catalog that lets you look up books, dissertations, journals and multimedia items. etc. in other libraries worldwide. The holdings of both the law library and the Steely Library are represented through WorldCat.  When accessing WorldCat, you will be prompted to use NKU's interface.  This is preferable because it will make it easier to identify resources held on campus or which the campus offers full-text access.

Use WorldCat

• When you know the title of the book you want, but you don't know which libraries have it.
• You want to know what books and other information sources exist on your topic, not just the ones that are available in one library.
• Go to the Advanced Search Feature to quickly locate items.

Google Books is a full-text searchable database with millions of scanned books from libraries or directly from publishers.  The strength of Google Books is that you can search the majority of the books from cover to cover and find books in which a chapter deals with your subject.
