Get Started with eBooks & eMedia

Step 1 - Search the Catalog

Initiate Search in our catalog.

Use the filters to focus your search:

  • eBook
  • Downloadable Audiobook
  • Downloadable Video

Step 2 - Note the eLibrary Provider

The Library subscribes to multiple digital collection providers (e.g. Libby, Hoopla, Kanopy etc.).

  • The Provider's name is noted below each catalog item (see below).
  • Note the provider for Step 3.

Step 3 - Launch the Provider's App

We recommend that new eBook and eMedia users go straight to the Provider's app for the simplest eLibrary experience.

  • Install the Provider's App on your phone or tablet.
  • Set up an account (often using your Library Card # and PIN).
  • Visit our Online Resources FAQs for information on available apps.

Step 4 - Check out and Enjoy

  • The check out process varies by app, but usually involves a simple click.
  • Some apps require you to download the files to your device.
  • View our Tutorials for eBooks & eMedia to get started with individual apps.
