How to Search Library Catalog for Electronic Books . . .

More than 25,000 books from netLibrary are included in the library catalog

  1. From the library home page, click on Library Catalog under Books.

  2. Click the Combination Search button from the top green bar.

  3. In the 1st box that says Keywords Anywhere type your search term(s), for example, computer programming and then netlibrary.

  4. Click the go button.

  5. From the results list, click the title of your choice.

    6.   Scroll down and click on the NetLibrary URL. This will take you to the electronic version of this book in

          netLibrary.

 

    7.   If you are using a computer on campus, you can view a book for 15 minutes without logging into netLibrary. If you want to use the book for more than 15 minutes, you must open an account with netLibrary by clicking on "Create a free account" on the upper right side of the page.

 

If you want to use netLibrary from off-campus, follow these steps:

 

    1. From the  Library home page, click on Search from Campus or Home!

    2. Click on Databases by Title and select netLibrary from the list.

    3. Use your library barcode, and you are ready to search for books in netLibrary.

    4. Create an account by clicking on "Create a free account" on the right side of the search    

        page, so you can check out a book for 24 hours, instead of just viewing it for 15 minutes.
