eBooks on the Cybershelves
The Los Rios libraries now own nearly 9,000 electronic books. All of these books are listed in LOIS, the library catalog. Now, when you do a keyword, author, or title search in LOIS, you'll find ebook titles in your list, as well as conventional print titles (p-books?) The ebook titles show the note “electronic resource” and an ebook icon. To read an ebook, simply click on “View E-Book” inside the LOIS record. If you are on campus, the book will open. If you are off-campus, type in your library card number and a library PIN to open the book. (Library users receive a default library PIN when they activate or use their student access card or employee ID card as a library card.) |

Ebooks have several advantages: |
☼ Libraries buy ebooks in discounted bundles, so you’ll find content that the library could not afford in print. |
☼ You can assign an ebook for class use without placing a hard copy of the book on reserve. |
☼ Ebooks are available to all registered library users through a web connection 24 hours a day (one user at a time). |
☼ Distance education students can use ebooks without coming to the library. |
☼ Your students can’t lose ebooks and they won’t pay overdue fines on them. |
