Textbooks contain detailed information about a subject for students in a particular field. They can provide a comprehensive overview of principles and concepts of a subject. However, they may not cover all aspects of a subject, or may not reflect the latest research, so it's important to complement them with other sources of information, such as journals and conference papers.
Reading Lists are a good starting point, you will find reading lists for each module on Moodle.
An ebook can be a digital version of a printed book, or a book that is only available in digital format. Accessible via computer or handheld device, they can be a convenient way of finding information.
MultiSearch is a good place to search for library ebooks.
Open Textbook Library has some free marketing ebooks.
Dewey decimal classification is the system we use to arrange books in the library. Each book is assigned a call number which is a series of numbers followed by letters. The dewey decimal system arranges books by subject. The longer the number, the more specific the subject. Numbers are arranged numerically and letters alphabetically to help you easily find what you're looking for.
