Library E-Book Collections

Chapman Library has two e-book collections.  E-Books are electronic books accessible that are viewed through your computer.  The two collections are NetLibrary eBooks and Gale Virtual Reference Library e-Books, and they are described below.

NetLibrary eBooks

Go to the E-Book link on the Library Web Page and type in a subject, author or title to bring up a list of books.
 

You can also get to these same books by going through the Chapman Library Catalog and typing in a subject, author or title search.  Include  "Electronic Books" in the second text box and only electronic books will come up in the results list.
 

You will not need passwords to read the books as long as you are on campus.  But you will need to create an account if you want to use NetLibrary for OFF-CAMPUS access or to check out a book.    You simply set up a user name and password on while you are on a campus computer; after that, you can access NetLibrary books off-campus with your personal account passwords.
