Reading Library Material on Your Desktop: Electronic Books

This guide will show you, step-by-step, how to find electronic books, technical reports and articles from your library

Locating Books and eBooks

If you are looking for a specific journal article or conference proceeding, you may want to use our eJournals/eBook Search. You can find out more about it on the Finding a Specific Electronic Journal or Electronic Book page of this guide.

If, instead, you are interested in seeing what books or eBooks we may have on a topic, searching our Online Catalog is an excellent way to find them. All of our circulating books are on our third floor. Our eBooks are also in our Library Catalog, and with the URL of the book in the record, and a note of "AFRL Only".
