This database (formerly ebrary) provides over 150,000 authoritative ebooks in a range of subjects from the world's top publishers. Use Ebook Central to quickly and easily find relevant ebooks and chapters; read online; search within the ebook; and highlight, take notes and bookmark pages in your online copy, stored on your bookshelf for you. You can also share your research with others, download ebooks and chapters to your laptop or mobile device, and more.
You can find Ebook Central books by searching directly on the Ebook Central Platform. You will also find Ebook Central books when you are searching Ebsco as they are all searchable there as well. They are also searchable through the Connelly Library Catalog.
We have a LibGuide just for Ebook Central. It offers help on searching, downloading and navigating. Please note that if you already had an ebrary login, you can use that on Ebook Central.
All the available volumes are grouped into topics, making it quick and easy to search and browse through an array of historical subject areas. The extensive bibliographic referencing and other leading functionality, enhances usability and makes this resource ideal for any type of historical research.
