Finding Ebooks Elsewhere
- Hathi Trust Digital Library
This is a digital repository for book and journal content from partner/participating institutions. Any one can view and access the content of digitized public domain items. In-copyright works have more limited viewing and might not be accessible for viewing.
- Internet Archive > Ebooks and Texts
This portion of this web site serves as a repository for digitized books and other texts as a means for preserving it for the future. Can be especially great for older works and primary sources.
- Google Books
Google Books provides previews of in-copyright books and access to the full text of out-of-copyright books. CONSORT and OhioLINK records sometimes have links to Google Book displays. Google Books in turn provides links that search if a book is available at OWU or another local Ohio Library. Contact a librarian for details!
