To search for books in the library, start with the library catalog.  Type in the name of the country you are researching in the Title search box.

Pay special attention to the book series Culture Shock! which provides a comprehensive look at cultures and customs, including a chapter on business.  In addition, the series Culture Smart! is a condensed version of Culture Shock!

If neither of these options work for you (because there isn't a book about your country or it's checked out) try to find a book about your country in Summit. Simply type in some keywords (ex. Kuwait Business) into the searchbox.  If you find something useful, click on "REQUEST THIS ITEM." It should be here within 3-5 business days.
