You can use the uSearch discovery system on the top right of the Calder Library homepage to search for online book chapters by topic. Make sure to select “Electronic Resources” from the uSearch drop-down menu before running your search.
You can refine your uSearch results by using the filters available on the left side of the screen. Look for the section called “Resource Type.” Click on the checkbox next to “Book Chapters,” then click on “Apply Filters.”
You can also search for information in book chapters within our textbook resources, such as AccessMedicine and ClinicalKey. Access these resources via the “Databases” link in the “Start Your Research” box or the “Popular Resources” section of the Calder Library homepage.
Once you are in a resource such as AccessMedicine, run a search for your topic.
Your search results will include book chapters amongst other types of information. You can limit the results to only book chapters by using the filtering options at the side of the results.
Below is an example using the resource ClinicalKey. You can run a search on your topic.
ClinicalKey includes an option to filter your search results by “Source Type.” Select the “Books” option and your search results will be refined to “Chapter Excerpts” from books included in ClinicalKey.
