FAQ: How do I search for only eBooks in the library?
There are a few ways that you can search for ebooks within the Shapiro Library’s collection.
Online Library Catalog
One place to start is the Online Library Catalog, which is linked under the “Find Articles, eBooks, & More” menu on the library home page. The Online Library Catalog searches the print collection as well as a number of eBook databases. To limit the search to ebooks only:
- Use the “Advanced Keyword” search option on the “More Searches” drop-down menu in the upper right corner
- Choose “E-BOOKS” in the Material Type field.
Note: The Online Library Catalog does not search all of our ebook collections.
E-Book Databases
Another way to find databases is to search individual databases that include eBooks & eBook Chapters.
Your topic will help you decide which database to choose. For example, if you want to find eBooks about nursing you would not choose AccessEngineering.
Popular eBook databases:
