EbooksThe Library provides over 500,000 electronic books (ebooks) which can be accessed through our catalog and other databases. Ebooks can be read online using a computer, smartphone, or tablet, or downloaded. Purchasing and/or subscribing to ebooks allows us to increase the number of books we make available to the community without putting increased space demands on our building. Ebooks also allow us to make more resources conveniently available to those trying to access our resources from off-campus, such as those commuting, home for breaks or doing a study abroad experience. |
