In each of these e-book collections you can search for a topic and explore the full contents of the ebook online.
- ebrary allows users to search a large collection of e-books, quickly pull up information from dictionaries or encyclopedias related to e-book text, and save references and annotations to a personal "bookshelf." First time users will be prompted to install a special reader. (NAU access only).
- eBooks Collection (formerly NetLibrary) from EBSCOhost is a gateway to e-books with access to scholarly titles, trade books, and reference books.
