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 checked out to an eReader, or print sections of the book or view it online. In order to take advantage of those 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.
