If you want to search for books in other libraries in our area too, change the "Delta College Library" drop-down menu to "everything."

Note the eBooks button on the right. You will use this later to search for eBooks.

Here are search results for keywords Germany and culture. Remember, we would get different results with the keywords German and culture.
