Huge selection of ebooks now available through ebrary!

Along with all the books on the shelves in the LRCs across Warwickshire College’s six sites, members of the college can now access a massive selection of electronic ebooks through ebrary on their computers! Access the ebrary site via the LRC’s intranet page by clicking on the ‘Digital library’ link followed by the ‘Ebrary Collection’ link, or visit http://site.ebrary.com/lib/warkscoll/home.action

Listed below is sample of the ebrary functions that enable users to get the most out of their library resources:

• Search by choosing simple or advanced (by keyword, full-text, publisher, or author).
• Instantly open documents in QuickView by clicking on a book jacket or title. No downloads or installations are required.
• Navigate using the table of contents, which shows search results at the chapter level. You may also navigate to every occurrence of your search term in a document, flip through pages, or go to specific page numbers.
• Use ebrary InfoTools™ to expand your research to other library resources and information on the web. Many InfoTools features can be activated by selecting words of interest in a document.
• Copy and print with automatic citations. Use Preferences on the InfoTools menu to choose from four citation styles. ebrary citations include a URL back to the source.
• Highlight text with or without notes and post multiple notes to a page. They are automatically stored on your personal bookshelf.
• Create a personal bookshelf to automatically save an archive of your highlights and notes as you conduct research. Unless you create a bookshelf and sign in before annotating any documents, your annotations will not be saved.
