Searching for eBooks in the Library Catalog

To find electronic books using our online catalog, go to the main library homepage, and use the link for our "Library Catalog." You will be taken to our online catalog. There you can perform a search using keywords, to discover a variety of resource types, including physical books on our shelves, ebooks, database articles, web resources, and many, many more.

Our search for "video games" reflects this--coming back with over 140,000 results. To narrow down these results to just ebooks, use the filters on the right. Check the box "Full Text Online" under Availability and "Books" under Resource Type.



Once you have decided on an ebook to read, you can access the text by clicking into the catalog record and accessing the database link in the "View Online" section of the record. This link will open in a new tab and will usually provide options to either read the book online, or download to your device. You can also choose to search for ebooks directly in the database.
