ISU faculty, staff and students can access eBooks on and off campus.

Everything Search and the Milner Library catalog are part of the same search tool, so the steps for finding eBooks are the same for both.  eBooks in the Milner Library Catalog and Everything Search appear as Available Online, which means you can access the book online through the Library’s website. 

To access the full text of an eBook:

  1. On the page for your eBook, choose the link in the View Online section.
  2. Login with your ULID and password to view the full text of the eBook.
    • If the link says “Ebook Central”, use the CentralLogin button to login with your ULID and password.  Then, select the large blue Read Online button to view the full text of the eBook.
    • If the link says “(Available from CARLI)” at the end, when you login with CentralLogin, it will go straight to the eBook without asking you to select your university.

See the Electronic Books guide to learn more about accessing eBooks at Milner Library.
