Textbooks in Ebook Central: Getting Started

The library catalog has ebook versions of some of the required course textbooks. To find out if the library has a textbook, there are 2 ways to search:

  • Using the Course Reserves search, you can search by Course Code or Professor Name
  • Using the regular catalog search, you can search by Title

To use either search, first access the Library's Online Catalog.  You can also access the catalog from the Library tab in Blackboard, under "Find books and movies - Catalog."
