eBooks are no different than books--other than the obvious: They're digital. That's all. Instead of paper, you have it on a screen. In fact, ebooks have certain advantages when it comes to research. eBooks have:powerful searching tools, built in citation, and even note taking tools and connections to your Google Drive!

Here's a couple of videos to help guide you through the ebook process. A couple of things to remember:

  • You don't have to read the whole book for your research project. Sometimes a chapter or even a paragraph might work. But that little chunk of the book could provide some great content!
  • Don't forget that ebooks have a table of contents and an index. Those can be really handy! Especially that hyperlinked table of contents!
  • Use the "Search within" tab to search for special phrases or words.
