This walkthrough demonstrates how to search for eBooks in
the EBSCO database.
In addition to searching for eBooks in the Library’s catalog, you can search for them in our EBSCO eBook database. To start, select the link “Databases” on the left menu of the library’s home page.
Select “eBook Collection (EBSCO).” If you are off campus, you will need to login at the next screen using your AU email login and password.
On the basic search page, you can search by keywords, author, title, etc. Once you have entered search terms, click “search.”
You can also select eBooks at the top left to browse books by subject.
To search only for books available for download, check this box.
On the left side of the results page you can narrow your search by date, subject, etc.
• The results in the center of the page, show the basic title, author, etc information for each book, and
• Links to the ebook full text (readable online only) and to the downloadable version when available.
Clicking on the eBook Full Text of a book brings up the book as a pdf on a page like this.
