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.
Multi-Search
One place to start is the Multi-Search which is on the library's homepage. You can find scholarly articles, book, eBooks, newspaper articles, dissertations and theses, book reviews, and more using the Multi-Search. To limit the search to eBooks only:
- After you conduct your search, click on the "Source Type" drop-down button underneath the search box.
- Choose “eBooks” and click "Apply".
Note: The Multi-Search 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.
