Searching for electronic books?

Did you know that the ISU Library provides access to thousands of e-books in all disciplines? Books such as the Oxford English Dictionary, Controlling Salmonella in Poultry Production and Processing, and Why Some Firms Thrive While Others Fail: Governance and Management Lessons from the Crisis are available from your office or home computer. E-books are available on and off-campus. If off-campus, you'll be prompted to enter the last 11 digits of your ISU ID and your library password.

You can search for e-books in Quick Search. Search results will contain records for print and electronic books. Depending on the topic you are searching, it may be useful to search an entire e-book collection. For example, searching the book content of ScienceDirect's "Veterinary Science & Veterinary Medicine" collection will retrieve results at the chapter level, and the results will contain citations for chapters from a variety of books in this collection. The library has purchased e-books packages from publishers such as Elsevier, Oxford, and Springer. E-book packages may be multi-disciplinary (e.g. Ebrary Academic Complete, SpringerLink) or discipline specific (e.g. ENGnetBASE, FOODnetBASE).

To learn more about the e-books available for specific disciplines, consult the "E-books @ Iowa State University" library guide. If you have any questions about e-books (e.g. access, availability, printing, etc.), contact your subject librarian for more information. If you are teaching courses and want to identify e-books for students to use in addition to the course textbook or as a supplement, your subject librarian can also provide assistance with this.
