Over the past several months, we have been working on adding ways to easily find ebooks in our collections. Since we have over 72,000 ebooks and we add more monthly if not weekly, we wanted to give our patrons more ways to quickly discover and enjoy them. We recently loaded records for over 10,000 ebooks into our library catalog so that you can look for print books and ebooks all in one process. We will be working on loading more but 10,000 is a good start.
How do you find ebooks in the library catalog?
The quickest way, for now, is to search for Electronic books as a subject. Ask a reference librarian for help with your search.
How can you tell if a title is an ebook or not?
Here is an example of what the brief record of an ebook will look like:
The title will be followed by [electronic resource] and the call number will be followed by eb.
To access the ebook, click on the title link to open the full library record and look for the Electronic Access link:
Even though we have added this additional way to find ebooks, you can always go directly to the specific ebook collection and search as well. This new access is simply a way of giving you options.
