Q: How do I access eBooks?

Answer

You can search for eBooks through the library catalog or by using the SuperSearch tab on the library homepage

Searching for eBooks in the library catalog: 

1.  At the top of the library homepage, click on the yellow “SuperSearch" dropdown bar and select the "Books & Media" tab. 

 2. Enter your search terms. You can find search tips here

 3. On the left side of the search results page, click on "Full Access Online." This will filter the results to show only eBooks that match your   search terms. 

 4. Click “Online access” under the book title to view the eBook. 

 5. Under the heading “View Online – Full text availability,” click the link to the eBook. Note that some books may have more than one link. 

 

 6. You may need to log in to access the eBook. If prompted, use your NetID and password to open the book. 

Searching for eBooks in SuperSearch: 

 1. At the top of the library homepage, enter your search terms in the SuperSearch bar. 

 2. On the search results page, locate the “Source type” dropdown menu, Click “More,” and then check the box next to “eBooks.”  

 

 3. After clicking “Apply,” SuperSearch will filter the results to show only eBooks that match your search terms.  

 4. When you find the book you want, click the “Access options” dropdown menu and select a link that will take you to the eBook in our   catalog. 

  • Additionally,  books may also be available as PDFs or EPUBs within SuperSearch. You can click these links to read the books in your browser. 

 

 

If you encounter a message stating that the eBook is in use, it means that the publisher has limited access to one user at a time.  Some other services may not have this restriction. If you receive this or a similar message, you can check back later or consider ordering a print copy through GIL Express or Interlibrary Loan.
