Pro: Information in books has been checked by editors and books found in the Hutchins Library have been selected by librarians and professors.
As a result, library books, especially reference books, are good
choices for reliable information and basic overviews of diverse subjects and issues.
Con: Because it takes years to write and
publish books, they are not always the best sources for current
topics. Additionally, reference books may not provide knowledge at a detailed or deep level.
