If you found a book in the library's main collection, you are able to use the library search to determine whether it is available in a digital format.

Let's say you are searching for a digital version of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

  1. Insert the title into the library search bar. You can even open a detailed search and use the author's name as well.
  2. Refine your search by checking the boxes labeled "Book/e-book" and "Full Access Online". 
  3. Each result will be labeled "Book" or "eBook".

In this case, our desired result is labeled as "Book" with a clickable "Full Access Online" link that takes you directly to a scanned version of the text.
