Print and eBooks are found using the library Discovery search!
Discovery's Advanced Search allows you to search by author, title, and keyword, then refine by format for print or eBooks.
You can also search for journal articles, videos, and other materials using Discovery Search.
Discovery search allows you to filter search results by print or eBook collections.
As convenient as eBooks are, they are not perfect and restrictions exist. Copyright and Digital Rights Management (DRM) limits how they can be accessed and downloaded. Click here for the eBook Research Guide to see details like creating an account, printing, or how to check out an eBook title.
Discovery search results can be filtered to limit to Trevecca holdings or include other libraries.
