The Amberton Library has about 14,000 volumes and is very focused. Only books on topics that support the
courses taught at Amberton are chosen to be added to the Library. The library catalog is a good place to begin
research on your topic. This provides an index to all of the books owned by the library.
Searching is done by Author, Title, or Subject. Keyword searches may also be done in the Title field. (This is
similar to a title search. Choose “Title” and type your keyword(s). A listing of all books containing your
keyword(s) in the title will appear.)
Below is a small sample of some of the newest print materials in the library collection you may find useful
in studying Addictions.
