Q. I need to find a quotation. Where should I look?

The library has many books that are full of quotations, and these are a perfect place to look for quotations that mention a particular term, topic, idea or person. 

To find quotation books: 

1. Search the library's book tab for the word quotations.  

2. Once you've found a book of quotations that you'd like to explore, click its title to find the full text link(s). 

3. You can then search within the book for a keyword.
