What are e-books?
E-books, or electronic books, are books that have been digitized or born digital and therefore readable online.
The Evans Library provides access to thousands of e-books via the Library website. We purchase or subscribe to e-book packages as well as individual titles. Some e-books are reference resources, searched for specific facts; some are textbooks; all can be valuable resources for assignments, reports, research, and general interest.
Your TRACKS user name and password are required for access to these online resources.

How do I read an e-book?
Most of our e-books are PDFs and readable through your browser. Many allow printing and downloading of pages or chapters for offline reading or transfer to e-book readers and mobile devices. Some allow downloading of entire books.
