End frustration with library books!
Are you getting frustrated at looking at titles in the library catalogue and not knowing if it really is something you want?

Recently, you may have noticed that there are links in the catalogue records to Amazon. By clicking on the link to Amazon, you can get all of the extra content Amazon offers - book reviews, table of contents, even content! Find out more about the book before you even get it!

Plus, if you really want the book, you can buy it from the link in the catalogue. Every time you buy a book at Amazon through these links, a little money goes to the library so we can buy more books for you!

I find checking the table of contents helps a lot or that summary option whre it shows you info about the book. best way to see if it's a good book is to actually find it in the library and read it lol

lol- too true! but if you're doing research at home, this will help save you time when you get to the library, as you'll already know what's relevant - you'll just need to pick it up!
