| Not all the books in the
library are kept on the shelves. In fact, thousands of books are
available in electronic format and reside in various library databases,
such as Ebooks on EBSCOhost, ebrary Business and Economics
Collection and Psychology and Social Work Collection, Gale Virtual
Reference Library, Oxford Reference Online, PsycBOOKS, Salem History
Database, Credo Reference and others. Electronic books are catalogued in
eCatalog just like any
other book. They can be identified by the "electronic resource"
designation after the title. They will also have either the E-Book prefix
before the call number or the name of the database. Electronic books are digital, full-text versions of print
books. They are available 24 hours a day and can be
accessed from any computer with an internet connection. There is no need to come into the
library to use an electronic book. This makes life much easier for
online students. |
