More on Accessing eBooks
You can access eBooks, starting from the Pollak Library Website at http://www.library.fullerton.edu
Click on “Find Books and More,” then select “netLibrary,” or “ACLS History E-Book Project.” Instructive help screens are available at both sites. You will also find records for the individual eBook titles in the Library’s online catalog (OPAC) and can connect directly from a title record to the eBook. To browse our collection of eBooks, do a TITLE search in the OPAC on "ebook" or to find eBooks in certain subject areas, do a KEYWORD search in the OPAC on "ebook subject", e.g., ebook mathematics.
No Checkout Required!
The CSU eBook collections are shared collections available to all CSU students and faculty. Unlike eBooks available at some public libraries, access to ebooks in the CSU collection at the netLibrary site and in the ACLS History Collection do not require you to go through the process of checking out a title nor do you need a special reading device.
Additional Information
Information and assistance with eBooks are available from librarians at the Reference Desk on the first floor of the Pollak Library.
The California State University System provides the funding for the CSU netLibrary Collection and the ACLS History eBook Collection.
