Welcome!

McQuade Library's growing e-book collection expands access to our books by letting users search for, browse, and read our books from anywhere on campus or beyond. An e-book is an electronic copy of a book. Sometimes e-books are literal copies of the print book and other times the e-books offer additional functionality.

This guide provides information on how to make the most of our e-book collections. If you have any suggestions or comments about this guide, contact a McQuade librarian.

How to Find & Access E-Books

How do I find e-books?

  • E-books are intergrated into the library's catalog, which means they will show up in regular catalog searches alongside our print books. Alternatively, you can limit a catalog search to only e-books by using the Format menu and selecting E-book.
