Research Guides: Inclusive Education: Find Books & Dissertations

Find Books at Rowan Libraries and Other Universities

Library Search
Search for books, e-books, media (DVDs, music recordings and scores, etc.) and more in Rowan University Libraries.

To access e-books, click the title of the book in your results, and then click any of the links in the "View Online" section.

For physical books, find the call number below the book title in your results, and use it to locate the book on the shelf.
Interlibrary Loan
Use this free service to get articles and books that are not in Rowan's libraries. ILLiad is best for articles and other electronic materials, and EZ Borrow is best for books and other physical materials.

Also note that Library Search actually searches for books and journal articles simultaneously, unless you narrow your search to only books, via the menu options on the left side of the screen.

Call Numbers

How to Read and Use a Call Number
From the University of Michigan Libraries.

Books on inclusive education will mostly have call numbers beginning with LC. These are located on the fourth floor of the library.

Find Dissertations

Dissertations may appear in your results in databases like ERIC or Education Source, but you won't be able to access their full text directly. They also won't always appear in results from the main Rowan search box.

Instead, search for dissertations in this database, which has PDF copies of nearly every dissertation submitted since 1997:

Dissertations & Theses Global (Proquest) This link opens in a new window
Contains more than 1.3 million citations and abstracts of U.S. , Canadian, and European doctoral dissertations and masters theses. Titles published since 1997 are available in PDF digital format by requesting a free download and 24 page previews are available. (ProQuest).
