Why Use Books and Monographs?
Books and monographs will often provide the most detailed treatment of a topic. However, because of this they can take longer to publish. Therefore, the most current information on a topic will likely be found in journal articles.
Research Tip: For thorough research on a topic you should use a mix of both books and articles.
