This list, which is refreshed at the beginning of each month, highlights newly cataloged books, ebooks, and dissertations/theses. It's generated by an RSS feed from the UCSD catalog -- RSS feeds for many other subjects are also available.
Library catalogs are good places to begin looking for books & e-books by keyword, author, title, or subject. Hint: to search the fulltext of millions of books (not all of them available online) use Google Books.
Looking for a journal article? Search by the title of the journal (not the title of the article).
Note: A large and growing number of scholarly ebooks are included in both the JSTOR and Project Muse databases, which are described under the tab for Articles.
