E-books are books that have been downloaded into the library catalog for increased access.  They contain all of the content of a regular book.  E-books contain many useful features that make them easier to use than print books.  Such as:

• You can access them whenever you want, whether or not the library is open.
• While your session may expire with an e-book, you can always renew it.
• Many e-books have a table of contents which allows you to jump to whatever chapter you are interested.
• E-books have a search bar which allows you to search a word, phrase, or a few words. The search will give you every time the word has been used in the book and will take you directly to those pages.
