Searching the Catalog for eBooks

If you're looking specifically for eBooks available through the Daemen library, you have a few options. The simplest is to use the SearchCat search bar on the library website. Enter your search terms or the title of the book you're looking for into the search box.

Once you type into the search box, it will expand and you will see the option to search only Books and eBooks. Click that before clicking the magnifying glass (or enter).

If you entered the title of a book, you'll likely already see the book you're looking for in your search results. You'll know a title is available as an eBook when a "View eBook" button is available on the results page.

If you don't see the title you're looking for yet or simply want to browse through only eBooks, then navigate to the left sidebar and be sure to click the box next to "eBook" to narrow your search to only eBooks. When you do find a title that you want to access, click the "View eBook" button to be taken to the detailed records page.
