Scholarship in the arts and humanities is frequently published in books, either as article-length chapters collected in book volumes, or as "long-form" studies that take up hundreds of pages. Discover@MU and other databases may search the table of contents of books or a brief description, but most don't delve into the full text. The following sites are helpful for searching inside books to find relevant portions. Although copyright restrictions may limit what you can view or download, this helps identify relevant books that we can then find in print.
