eBook Tips and Usage

 

Waggoner eBook collections integrate over 200,000 full text eBooks into our library catalog!

  • After you search Discovery and view your result list, you'll know it's an eBook by the description stating eBook.
  • Use the Discovery search filters to limit results to Trevecca eBooks. Filters are on the left menu of the result list.
  • Click the Access Online button to open the book.

Waggoner eBook collections have options for the book to be checked out to an eReader (downloaded), or print book chapters or read it online.

The Ebook research guide has detailed information about eBook collections, accounts, printing, downloading and exporting eBook content.

Print Books

 

Find all books using  Discovery, our online catalog located on the library website.

  • Discovery is most useful for simple author/title searches or focused searches by keyword.
  • Use the limit menu on the left side of the result page to narrow results to:
  • Trevecca library
  • Either print books or eBooks
  • Can also fliter (limit) by author or date of publication
  • Almost all of our print books can be found on the second floor of Waggoner Library.

Print books can be mailed to online or distance students living outside a 30-mile radius of the Trevecca campus but within the 48 contiguous United States.  Contact library@trevecca.edu for questions about this process.

What if we don't have what you need?

  • You can use our free Interlibrary Loan service to borrow books and articles from other libraries.

Interlibrary Loan

 

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service we provide to currently enrolled Trevecca students and Trevecca employees. If there is material you need for your research that you cannot find at Waggoner Library, we can request it from other libraries and have them send it to us. Once the material is here you can check it out from us, use it and then return it to us, and we will take care of getting it back where it belongs! If it is an article you are looking for, it will be sent directly to your email as a PDF.

How to Make an ILL Request

You can request items online through interlibrary loan in one of two ways:

  1. Find the item in Discovery and click on its title to view the details. There will be a purple 'Request Item through Interlibrary Loan' button that you can click which will attach the item's information to your request, so that you don't have to type it out.
  2. If the ILL request button for a title in Discovery is unavailable, use our online interlibrary loan form (you will need to type in the item details)

Important Notes:  Your Trevecca email and the 11-digit Campus ID number from your ID card are both required on all ILL requests. Please contact the library if you do not have the 11-digit Campus ID number. https://library.trevecca.edu/contact
