The first step in finding eBooks is to click on the Online Catalog Search prompt. Here you can find materials in the physical book, eBook, and journal article format.
For eBooks, type in your topic of choice. Results will show up in many formats, but to narrow it down to eBooks, go to the left of the screen and click on ‘Available Online.’ Among the results, the word ‘Book’ will appear above the book title, and ‘Available Online’ will appear below it. These titles are eBooks.
