LibGuides: CHEM 187: Foundations of Teaching & Learning Science (Winter 2021): Books & Encyclopedias

Roger is the UC San Diego Library catalog that helps you locate print and electronic books in the Library collection.

Keyword searching is a great way to begin looking for books on a new topic. When you find a title that look promising, check the book's catalog record to see the assigned subject headings; these might point to other books you can use.

If you're on campus or living in San Diego, you can request print books for curbside pickup at the Osler Visitor Center.
You can also request that we scan a chapter from the print book and send it to you electronically.
If you prefer ebooks, then you can limit your search by changing the "All Collections" option to "Electronic Materials." Click to see an example.
