WR 320: Scientific & Technical Writing

To find ebooks we have access to, search for your topic on LibrarySearch and then limit to ebooks.

LibrarySearch offers a streamlined interface for finding books and other media that combines the collections of UO Libraries and Summit libraries.

Using Filters in LibrarySearch

Use LibrarySearch to find millions of items available at UO, including eBooks! Narrow your search by using filters. These are also sometimes called refiners, narrowers, or limiters. 

Finding eBooks

To locate eBooks, check the corresponding box (under the Resource Type filter). You may also want to include Book Chapters.

LibrarySearch also includes catalogs of other Summit (OR, WA, and ID) academic libraries. Using the UO eResources filter (under Availability) will eliminate results that includes eBook records the UO doesn’t have current access to.

Be sure to click Apply to limit your results to your selected filters.

Finding eBooks beyond UO

There are free and open eBooks online through sites like HathiTrust and Project Gutenberg. Check out the eTextbooks and OER page for more.
