eBooks: Finding eBooks

All systems should be operating normally.

On May 1st, books in ProQuest Ebook Central will use EPUB as their default format. PDF versions should still be available. You can switch to the PDF version if you prefer. Page numbers may be different in the EPUB version than in the PDF version.

To find a book by title, start at MCPHS Smart Search:

1. Search for the title. (You may not need the whole title.) For example, search Harrisons Principles of Internal Medicine.
2. On the search results page, make sure you're logged in (at the gray bar at the top of the page).
3. Your results should now be just versions of the ebook you want.

You're can access the book through the MCPHS Library by clicking on Access Options and choosing one of the full text options.

To browse by topic in Smart Search, start at the Library's homepage:

1. Search by a topic, like nursing
2. On the search results page, make sure you're logged in (at the yellow bar at the top of the page)
3. Use the limits on the left side of the page to select eBooks

You're now looking at ebooks on nursing that you can access through the MCPHS Library by clicking on Full text.

Tip: If you're seeing an overwhelming number of results, consider limiting your results by date range.
