Ebooks are scholarly, too!

Most NCC Library eBooks are scholarly although--being books--they are usually not peer-reviewed. Peer review is a process that academic journals use. Some library eBooks, however, are actually edited collections of research articles. If you find one of those to use for your writing assignment, share it with your instructor and ask if it would work.
