Finding Books
The search box on the library's home page allows users to search for articles, books, videos, and more with a single search. To search for books only, select Books from the first drop down menu, then enter your keywords in the text box. Before clicking Go, you have the option to specify where you want to search for books in the second drop down menu:
- Choose MU Libraries Search to look for books at the Miami University Libraries. This can be useful if you need something quickly.
- Choose OhioLINK Search to look for books owned by other Ohio colleges and universities. Books requested from other OhioLINK libraries will take 3-5 days to arrive for pickup at a Miami Library.
- Choose Beyond MU and OhioLINK to look for books outside of MU and OhioLINK member libraries. This option gives you the largest number of books to choose from, but some of them will have to be physically mailed to a Miami Library for pick up. This can take 1-2 weeks.
On the results list, you can also choose Available online to see a list of e-books that you can read immediately.

Statistical Methods for Experimental Research in Education and Psychology
by
Call Number: QA279ISBN: 9783030212407Publication Date: 2019-06-12This book focuses on experimental research in two disciplines that have a lot of common ground in terms of theory, experimental designs used, and methods for the analysis of experimental research data: education and psychology. Various statistical packages, commercial and zero-cost Open Source ones, are used. Core theme of this book is a heuristic called the question-design-analysis bridge: there is a bridge connecting research questions and hypotheses, experimental design and sampling procedures, and common statistical methods in that context. Each statistical method is discussed in a concrete context of a set of research question with directed (one-sided) or undirected (two-sided) hypotheses and an experimental setup in line with these questions and hypotheses.
