Finding E-books

The Libraries hold a robust collection of ebooks; it is not possible to list all of them in a single guide. In order to search within our ebook collection only, go to Advanced Search within the Classic Catalog. Change the "Location" to "E-Resources," and then enter your keyword search as normal. This will restrict your search to only books that are available online.
