Locating fallacies using library resources may require more understanding of the concept, here is a definition from Credo Reference
From the Latin fallacia (“deceit,” “trick,” or “fraud”), this term means bad or faulty reasoning, and is often also called non sequitur, a Latin phrase meaning “it does not follow,” and, less often, paralogism, from the Greek para (“beside”) and logos (“reason”). With a narrower focus on the use of argument for the purpose of refutation, i.e. to prove opposed views wrong, a fallacy is sometimes also called a sophistic refutation or an apparent refutation.
From: fallacy. (2001). In A. P. Iannone, Dictionary of world philosophy. Routledge. Credo Reference.
