eBook Database Tutorials

Navigate to the EBSCO eBOOK Databases

Library Home Page ► A to Z Database List ► Choose between Ebook Academic Collection and EBSCO eBook Collection

NOTE: There are several EBSCO eBook collections that all function similarly.

Keyword Searching from the Advanced Search page

• To search by Keyword: type in your keywords (for example: human trafficking) and then click the search button.

Title Searching

• To search by Title: Type in the title of the eBook you are looking for, then from the Select a Field (optional) drop down menu, choose TI Title and then click the search button.

Author Searching

• To search by Author: type in the author's name and then from the Select a Field (optional) drop down menu, choose AU Author and then click the search button.

Once you have performed your search, you get a list of results best matching your search criteria. Clicking on the title of one of the eBooks in your results list takes you to the detailed record for that item

The detailed record displays the following:

• Title of the book
• Volume/issue numbers
• Author/Editor's name (which are linked and can be clicked on to search for other works by the author).
• Publication information (publisher, place of publication, date)
• Description of the book
• Applicable subject headings (these are linked and can be clicked on to search these subjects).
• Image of the book's cover
• Table of Contents. Each chapter/section is linked for easy navigation.

To Read Online

• Either click on the chapter section you wish to view and use the web viewer to read the book, OR
• Click on the PDF Full Text link on the left side of the detailed record.

Once you select to view the PDF you will be directed to a page that has the eBook. The left hand navigation will have the individual chapters you can download. There is a cap on how much you can download at one time. Note: you can not download the entire eBook at once unless you have an EBSCO account. 

Attention Mac Users: You will need to install a PDF Browser Plug-in in order to use the EBook Viewer. The plug-in can be found on the following website: http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/
