 Wondering how to access books at Janks Library if you're not on campus? The answer is eBooks. Janks Library has over 150,000 eBooks available, all searchable within our Noble Catalog. EBooks are really useful for distance learners because you can access them from your device wherever you are. This video will walk you through how to find and access eBooks within the Noble Catalog. To begin searching for eBooks in the Noble Catalog, go to the library homepage at www.gordon.edu.slashlibrary. Under the search library section, click on the More Catalog Search Options link under the Noble tab. You will be directed to the basic search screen in the online catalog. Finding eBooks is almost exactly the same process as finding print books at Janks. You enter your search terms in the box provided, and you click search. However, there are a few filtering options you can set on your search if you know the only thing you want to look for is eBooks. Let's say we wanted to search by title for the book Naming the Elephant by James Sire. I'm going to enter my title search terms and then change this keyword drop down to a title search. Then using the All Formats drop down, I'm going to select Book Electronic from my list to scope my search only to eBooks. And then go ahead and click search. Now notice that instead of searching it across the entire library, we are filtering by that format electronic book. To access the eBook, click on the green title link to open the record. A link to access the eBook is contained below the electronic resources header. There are two primary ways to access eBooks at Janks. The first, as shown in this example, is an eBook available on EBSCO host. Click on the access link below the electronic resources header to open the eBook. For eBooks available on EBSCO host, this will open it in EBSCO's eReader platform. You can use the left navigation to browse and jump into specific chapters within the book. Also notice the toolbar across the page allows you to save a certain range of pages or maybe email pages to yourself and more. Once again, return to our noble catalogue and run another search to look at the second way in which you can access eBooks from Janks. This time we're going to search for the book Leadership Interbulent Times by Doris Goodwin and we're going to keep everything about our search the same. We're going to search by title and we're going to filter by book electronic. Once again, click on the green title link to access the record. And notice this time how the link under our electronic resources header has changed. Now instead of saying access via EBSCO host, this says access title from overdrive. Also that for overdrive titles, you'll see a status bar next to it. This is because you actually need to check out the eBook on overdrive in order to access it. So you're able to see how many copies are currently available. In this case for our book, there are three copies of six still available for us to borrow. To access this eBook and overdrive, go ahead and click on the access link. You'll be directed to the overdrive borrowing page. To check out the book, click on the blue borrow button. You'll first be asked to sign in with your library card. From the select your library dropdown, choose the noble library patrons option and then enter your library barcode number. Your card number is the number on the back of your Gordon ID card. Once you sign in, you'll be prompted to finish borrowing the book. You can change the number of days that you'd like to borrow this book for. By default, it's set to 14 days but you can choose up to 21 days. Once you set that, go ahead and click on borrow and you'll see your book has been checked out. A pop-up message will appear confirming your selection. You'll also have options from this pop-up message to choose how you would actually like to start reading the book. You can either choose to download the book and import it into your favorite device or you can open this up in the web browser and use Overdrive's online eReader to click through the pages of the book and also use the table of contents to jump into specific chapters. Let's go back to that overdrive landing page that we were just on. Note that when you clicked on that overdrive link, you were directed to the noble drawoverdrive.com. Overdrive has lots of other potential resources that could be useful for you as a distance learner as well. Check out the Subjects tab and browse other potential formats such as other eBooks or even audiobooks that you can select and download and read or listen to as you'd like.
