It is always a good idea to include a variety of information sources in your research. Books can provide a more thorough picture of a topic than a journal article or credible website. You often will not need to read the entire book - just a few chapters/sections will often have the information you need. Additionally, you can easily browse the book by chapters, OR you can search within the full text of an e-book to find the keywords you're looking for. Nearly every e-book collection to which the library has access allows full-text searching of e-books. Try that with a regular, print book!
