How do I view or search for a online book (ebook)?
Answer
To restrict a search in FindMore@NUSL to ebooks only, select "items with full-text online" and "book/ebook"
This is currently experimental and may miss out some ebooks or list print books as ebooks.
When you search LINC or LINC+, online versions of books or ebooks are usually clearly indicated in the record. Below shows an example in LINC+.
Ebooks are available on many different platforms including
Access to all online books, journals , databases is via your NUSNET ID and password and depending on the type of platform and title you might be able to download the whole book as a pdf or selected pages.
Depending on the platform, some will allow you to download whole chapters in PDF (e.g. CRCnet, ScienceDirect), while others will allow you to print or download a fixed number of pages and/or require that you be online to access page by page (e.g. EBSCO E-Books, MyiLibrary). Please refer to the online help of each e-book platform for more details.
