Use OneSearch to search across all library resources.  Narrow your search results to electronic books by using the options in the "Refine My Results" bar on the left.

In the "Format" section, select "Books."  In the "Availability" section, select "Available Online." Your results should now be only electronic books.

The video below will cover using OneSearch to locate both books and electronic books.

• Think of 1-3 key words that describe your topic and use those as your search terms.
• When searching for names or multi-word phrases, use quotes around your terms. This tells the catalog that you want to find books with those words together as a phrase.
  • For example: "Soren Kierkegaard" or "Social Contract Theory"
• Use the "Subjects" links found in each book record to find related books.
• If you aren't finding anything useful, try thinking of alternate terms for your search terms. How else might people describe your topic?
  • For example: If your topic is "Ethics" you could also try searching for "Moral Philosophy" or even "Objectivity" or "Virtue."
