 The O'Reilly eBooks database is the first place to look in the BC Library databases for technology-focused books. O'Reilly Media is a publisher of well-respected technology books recognized by the animals on the covers, and the database platform includes books from other publishers as well. This database contains eBooks, videos, and reports on technology-focused areas, such as programming, databases, current topics in software architecture, digital marketing, and business techniques. O'Reilly eBooks are included in the library's catalog, so when you search for books from the library's homepage, you may see links to this database in the Full Text Availability section for some of your results. You can also search this eBooks collection directly by selecting the link on the BC Library's databases list. Once you've clicked on this link and logged in if you're off campus, use the magnifying glass on the top right of the page to open a search box and enter the title of the book or the topic you're searching for. We'll search for books about data visualization. Within your results list, you can see the title, authors, category, publication year, and a start of the description for each book. Select a book from the results list by clicking on the title. This brings up the book's full description page. If you decide to read the book, select the Continue Reading or Start Reading Now button on the right. The book will load on the page. You can read the chapter by scrolling down on the page and navigate to the previous or next chapters using the links at the top left and right. You can also navigate through the book using the button in the top middle of the page to view a table of contents. This lets you jump directly to a chapter that you'd like to read. Within a book, you can modify your display for easier reading. Use the button on the right with a capital and lowercase a to change the text size using the slider with the letter A, increase or decrease the amount of page that the text appears on using the slider with diagonal arrows, or change the background colors using the cloud icon or moon icon. With the top button on the right, you can use the magnifying glass to search within the book. If you need to add a link to an O'Reilly book to Canvas or an assignment, get in touch with the library and we can help construct an effective link. The share button in this section is not compatible with the BC login system. When reading books in the O'Reilly database, also keep in mind that it does not allow downloads of ebooks in PDF for on the computer. O'Reilly does offer an app which can be used to read and download materials on other devices. The database permissions allow printing small amounts of content from the books, but there is no built-in print function so you would need to print through your browser. If you have any other questions while using the O'Reilly ebooks database, or if you would like help searching for books on a particular topic, get in touch with a BC librarian.
