Ebook FAQ

What are ebooks?

Ebooks are just like the print books you'd find on the library shelves, except they are available completely online for you to read. 

What kind of ebooks are available?

Most ebooks consist of non-fiction, research-worthy titles; the Libby ebook collection is a mixture of fiction and non-fiction, some of which are novels often required for a number of courses.

 

Where can I find your ebooks?

You can search for ebooks using the OneSearch catalog, or browse the ebook collections on the library's database page (note that Libby content can only be accessed using the link to libby).

 

How do I check out an ebook?

Most ebooks don't need to be checked out, nor will they have due dates; simply read an ebook in a browser window, anywhere you have Internet access. Libby ebooks, however, do have a "due date," indicating when you will no longer have access to the ebook (but renewal options may be available). A small collection of ebooks have certain limits, too, like how many people can access the book at a time. 

 

Can I read an ebook off campus?

Yes! If you are off campus, reading an ebook or checking out Libby ebooks will require logging in with SCCCD credentials. Use your Canvas/school email username and password to log in.
