Finding E-Books

How to Access E-books

E-Books are electronic versions of printed books.  The Libraries over 27,000 e-books in a broad range of academic topics from netLibrary and Rittenhouse Books.  These e-books are accessible online anytime anywhere  to EPCC students from a computer connected to the Internet.  What to know what's available?  if you're off-campus, use the off-campus link.

The text of netLibrary e-books can be fully searched, and a built-in dictionary is available while you are reading. You can also download an e-book to a PC and read at your own pace. After downloading the book to your computer, you can highlight text in different colors, make notes which will remain in the text. Citation information will be provided when you copy and paste.
