Library Searches for Religious Studies

With the speed of the internet and the immediate usefulness of computer web searches there seems to be a lack of emphasis upon books and libraries and yet these can be far more fruitful sometimes in obtaining detailed information.  However, a more important point is that books are published material  and, therefore have  a recognised status.  One problem with some information from the “ net” is that it may not be authoritative information.

 The purpose of these exercises is to get you used to book hunting.
