E-Books
Overview
An e-book, or electronic book, is a digital version of a traditional printed book designed to be read on a computer or other digital device. Currently, the Library owns nearly 16,000 e-books on a variety of academic, vocational, as well as general interest topics. These e-books are contained in two separate collections, the EBSCO eBook Collection (formerly NetLibrary e-Books) and the Gale Virtual Reference Library. Click on the appropriate tab above to explore each of these e-book collections.
