E-BOOK DATABASES AND ONLINE REPOSITORIES

University faculty and students will find that e-books are used in a similar manner to print books. Instead of paging through the print book to find information, you would usually do a "keyword search" of an e-book to find information. Then, you would move to the desired page and read it, the same as you would do with a print book. Of course, you could also read the entire e-book online. Although you cannot print the entire e-book, you are welcome to print selected pages that contain quotes you need. Be sure to also print appropriate citation information for any e-book quote that you desire to use.
