Question
How do I use and access the library's ebooks?
The library has a large collection of ebooks covering a wide range of academic topics.
Finding ebooks
The easiest way to find ebooks is by using the Discovery search box on the library website. Add your search terms and narrow your search to ebooks using the filters on the left side of your results. Most of the library's available ebooks will be included in this search.
Ebook collections also can be accessed and searched individually from the A to Z Databases page.
Available ebook collections
Multi-disciplinary collections
The library's largest collections of academic ebooks, covering a wide range of topics and some classic fiction titles. Most ebooks in these collections are available in PDF format with the ability to download and print some of the book. Some titles restrict the number of users who can access the book at the same time.
Reference collections
Collections of authoritative encyclopedias, dictionaries, and other reference ebooks that provide general, factual, and background information. Ebooks can be searched individually, or the whole collection can be searched at once. Content is in HTML format, and individual entries can be downloaded and printed.
Specialty collections
Collections with specific types of ebooks or subjects. Ebooks are available in HTML format, and selections of ebooks can be printed and emailed.
- Critical Insights: Literature: Classic and current literary criticism.
- R2 Library: Medicine, nursing, and allied health disciplines. Each ebook can be accessed by only one user at a time.
- Very Short Introductions: Short introductions to a wide range of academic subjects.
Downloading ebooks
We recommend reading ebooks online and saving a permalink for the ebook or chapter to quickly return to the book as needed. Downloading is allowed for both EBSCO's eBook Collection and ProQuest's Ebook Central. Downloading requires creating an account on the platform, downloading Adobe Digital Editions, and creating an Adobe ID.
