Nursing: Find Books & eBooks

Strategies for Locating eBooks

1. Why use an eBook? Academic books/eBooks investigate a topic in a deep, complex way, building up to complex ideas one step at a time.

2. Academic Voice - Most of our eBooks have been written in "academic voice." This is a formal style of writing introduces you to the professional language used to describe your topic. 

3. Keywords - make a list of the most important words and ideas associated with your topic. Look back at your concept map.

4. Navigating the Catalog - our eBooks can be searched for by keyword in our online catalog.
