 Welcome to the Bellevue College Library's EBSCO Host ebook collection tutorial. In this tutorial, you will learn how to run basic searches to find electronic books in the EBSCO Host ebook collection. The EBSCO Host ebook collection provides access to ebooks in a variety of subject areas. Use the advanced search page, seen here, to search for books on particular topics. As an example, I'll search for books that discuss education and assessment. Using the Select a Field drop-down menu next to the search terms, you can ask the database to retrieve books with your keywords in the title, author, or subject field. Further down the search page, the full text box ensures the results will contain only complete books you can read right away. This box is selected by default when you access the search page. Additional limits include date, language, or ISBN, but remember, too many limits at once might reduce your results to zero. Once ready, click Search at the bottom of the page or at the top near your search terms to see the results. Each book in the results list displays the title, the author, publication information, and subjects. Click on the title of a book to see additional information. Within the detailed record for the book, the author, subjects, and categories are clearly displayed. Scroll down to view relevant pages for your search terms, as well as the book's full table of contents. You can jump to a particular section by clicking on any of the links in the table of contents. You can access the complete contents of the book in a few ways. To read a book online, click on the PDF full text or EPUB full text links on the left. Some books will have only one of these, and some will have both. But note, if you receive a network error message when selecting this link, you may have a browser configuration interfering with the ebook. Try again in a different browser or in an incognito or private window. Once you've selected one of these links to open the ebook, you can choose individual sections by clicking on a link from the table of contents menu. If you know a particular page you'd like to jump to, you can add that into the box at the bottom of the page and click Enter on your keyboard. You can save individual pages from the book as a PDF using the Save Pages link in the toolbar at the top of the page. Or you can use the Email Pages or Print Pages links for other ways to save these pages. From the Detailed Record page, another option is to download the book. To do so, click Full Download on the left below the full text links. Be aware you will have to create your own free EBSCA host user account to download materials. The Tools menu on the right hand side of the Detailed Record page allows you to print, email, or save the detailed record of this book. Remember, this prints emails or saves the record that is on screen right now, not the book itself. The site function in this list provides assistance for citing the book in a variety of formats. If you need a link to this page, be sure to use this stable permalink URL shown on the right side of the page. You've now learned the basics about searching the EBSCA host ebook collection.
