There are two ways to find ebooks at the UNT Libraries - through the catalog and by directly searching ebook collections. In either approach, remember to use the book's index to see if your topic is covered.
Perform an All Fields or Subject search for your topic in the Discover library catalog. Select Online (Access category) and then Books (Resource Type category) in the left-hand panel.
Click on the title link of a book you want.
Above the Location and Call Number information, select the "connect to online resource" link.
Now you can skim or read the book.
Here are some ebook collections that you can go to directly and search for your topic.
Users can search within a wide range of relevant eBooks using the powerful EBSCOhost search experience. Relevant eBook titles appear directly alongside databases and other digital content, exposing users to the full depth of the library's offerings. Dates of Coverage: multi-year
