# How to Search Technical Books with OpenClaw

OpenClaw queries technical book databases in batch, returning structured results with technology tags, difficulty levels, and publication dates. Build curated reading lists for engineering teams, generate technology-specific book collections, and populate learning platform catalogs with comprehensive technical book metadata.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask OpenClaw: "Search for books on Kubernetes and container orchestration"
3. OpenClaw returns relevant technical books
4. Ask: "Which is the most up-to-date?"
5. Choose the book with the most current information

## Example Prompt

```
Find books on operating systems design. I want a deep understanding of how Linux works internally.
```

## Tips

- Publication date matters more for technology-specific books than for CS fundamentals
- Classic CS textbooks remain relevant for decades -- do not dismiss older titles
- Look for books that include practical exercises for hands-on learning
