The library has thousands of digital books that you can read online or download.  Whether you are on campus or away from campus, you will be able to use these digital books to complete your projects. 

Our EBook Central books have several ways to search inside the book:

• Look at the Table of Contents
• Check the Index for key words or phrases related to your topic
• Once you click on any chapter in the book, a "Search within Book" option will appear on the left; use that to search for specific terms, names, etc.

Best Practice in using Ebook Central:

• You can read books in your browser without downloading them.
• Sign in when you use it (upper right corner; use your cord email sign in).
• Add books to your "Bookshelf" -- this will store them for your use later, even if you don't check them out/download them.
• Use the highlighter and sticky notes to help you study or to emphasize quotations (when you sign back in later, it will remember all of your notes, even if you didn't download the book).
• If your book is being used by your whole class, download individual chapters directly from your browser without downloading or checking out the whole book. For our 1-user license books, this allows others to see and read the chapter.
