How do I view an eBook?
Last Updated: Nov 17, 2023     Views: 199

The library catalog provides access to thousands of electronic books (e-books).

  • Search the library catalog 
  • Change the Search Scope from SwoopSearch to Library Catalog
  • If one of the books in the results list is an e-book, click the link that says "Online Access".
    • If you are on campus, some books will open automatically while others will require logging in with your Patriots credentials.
    • If you are off campus, you will always be prompted to enter your Patriots credentials before viewing the book.
  • Some eBooks allow you to download PDF copies to your personal computer or USB drive.

For assistance viewing eBooks, contact the Help Desk by phone (903-566-7343) or by email (library@uttyler.edu).
