The Von der Ahe Library has over 30,000 electronic books in its collection.  Most are from ebrary, an electronic publisher.  There are two ways to access our ebooks.  Go to our databases page, look in the alphabetical list for ebrary and click on the link.  

Once you’re at the ebrary home page, search keywords in your topic to see what ebooks are available. 

Or when you’re searching for books in LINUS, the library’s catalog, sometimes your search will retrieve a record for a book and it will say:  “An electronic book accessible through the worldwide web, click to view.”  Click and you’ll be taken to the ebook in ebrary.
