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.

  • Waggoner eBook collections integrate over 200,000 full-text eBooks into our collection.
  • In Discovery, use the filters on the left to refine your search to only include eBooks.
  • eBooks can be distinguished on the results page through the description, or by looking for the purple view eBook button.
  • When viewing an eBook record, links are also available under the Check Availability header

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.

TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE USE OF eBOOKs

NEVER download a library eBook for a class assignment unless you see that it has 'UNLIMITED USE'.

If you don't see that information you need to assume the title has LIMITED use. This means once it has been downloaded it is NO LONGER viewable online - prohibiting anyone else in your class's use of the book.

To complete your assignment you can create a PDF for a page range and email that to yourself. Federal copyright law has a limit of 60 pp but some publishers (Baker Books) have a limit of 12 pp at one time. You can log in again to retrieve additional pages.

Internet browsers do make a difference.

Firefox users may need to adjust the browser settings to open PDFs within the browser. To adjust the Firefox browser settings:

  • Select Options from the Tools menu in Firefox
  • Select Applications in the resulting Options window
  • Click Portable Document Format in the Content-Type column
  • Select Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) in the drop-down menu to the right of Portable Document Format
  • Click OK if you have the option, otherwise close the box
Articles are found in the library databases. Search by subject, browse journal titles, or search by author within the databases.
