eBooks
An eBook, or electronic book, is a digital version of a printed book, designed to be read on electronic devices like computers, tablets, and smartphones. It offers a convenient way to access and read books, often with features like adjustable font sizes and the ability to highlight content. While you cannot print an eBook in its entirety, you can print single pages, jump instantly to specific chapters or pages and search for keywords within a book.
You can find eBooks by using the Library's Search Everthing Tool or by searching one of our eBook databases. No login is required to access eBooks on campus. If you are off-campus, you will need to log in with your 9-digit student or employee ID and password. Full details can be found on the Off-Campus Access page.
