E-books are online editions of print reference books. Unlike a traditional print source, which can be used only by one student at a time in the library, e-books can be used by many students 24 hours a day in school or at home. E-books can be found in the online catalog or through these publisher links:

  • Marshall Cavendish: 42 titles on a range of subjects, including animals and plants, geography, health, sciences, social studies, and world cultures.

  • ABC-CLIO History Reference Online: 475 titles related to history, politics, pop culture, geograry, science, technology, the environment, and other social studies topics.

    •

  • Gale Virtual Reference Library: More than 300 titles on the arts, biography, business, education, the environment, history, law, literature, medicine, multicultural studies, nations and the world, religion, science, and social sciences. You can search all Gale e-books simultaneously with PowerSearch.
