You can use databases devoted to eBooks, or search in MegaSearch and limit to eBooks.

Below this video are written instructions.

 

 

1. Databases devoted to eBooks

These thematic databases integrate chapters from many eBooks
This academic database has articles and eBooks
  • JSTOR 
    • To when prompted to sign in, type Pima under Find your institution.

 

2. MegaSearch

Search across (almost) all of our eBooks. This will search the full text of each book.

 

How do eBooks differ from printed books?

  • Publishers and and databases may limit the numbers of people who can simultaneously access an eBook.
  • Most allow generous printing and copying of material, but there may be limits.
  • You can peruse a book in your browser (after logging into the database with MyPima credentials).
  • But to download a book you often need special digital rights software like Adobe DRM. This is a hassle to set up, but may be worth it.
  • Just be prepared for different databases to operate differently.
