eBooks

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. To take advantage of these options, you will need to create a free account.  View the eBook LibGuide to learn more about our eBook collections and how to use them effectively.

    • Format - eBook
  • Results will be Trevecca-owned eBooks, available online 24/7.

As nice as eBooks are, they are not perfect. Restrictions exist. Copyright and Digital Rights Management (DRM) limits how they can be accessed and downloaded. The eBook LibGuide will take you through the process of viewing eBooks here at Trevecca. It will also highlight the restrictions are you likely to encounter and the best way to manage these limitations.

Waggoner eBooks can also be searched directly in the following databases:

Internet and Open Source (OSR) eBook Collections

Some of the collections are open-source (OSR) resources, some public domain (PD) works, and some are limited in viewing and downloading. But all are freely accessible!

Be sure to look at the collection guidelines for those details. PD collections will have older publication dates, while OSR collections can have more current publication dates.
