When searching for books about your research topic in Discovery, remember to use broad keywords. You can do a KEYWORD search about your author or the title of the literary work, but doing an AUTHOR or TITLE search for the same will not show books about that author or topic, but rather the work itself.

Waggoner eBook collections integrate over 200,000 full text eBooks into our library catalog. After you search Discovery and view your result list, you can use the filter on the left side of the page to limit to eBooks (Hint: All Formats > Book > eBook). Click on the title and open the record.
Waggoner eBook collections have options for the book to be viewed online, checked out to an eReader, or for sections of the book to be printed.
