Using Academic Complete E-books

Searching in Academic Complete (part of ProQuest's Ebook Central)

Searching in Academic Complete is very easy using any combination of keywords, authors, title, or general subject. You can also click the link below the search box to browse by category. 

The search results will offer filtering on the left side of the screen to narrow your results down, including year published and subject, among others.

Click on the title of the book you want to read. You can read the full synopsis, see the full citation information, and choose how you prefer to read the book (in-browser or download the PDF). You can also scroll down the page to go directly to a chapter you're interested in. To download the full book, click the button to the left of the page that says "Download Book."

This will open a pop-up where you can then download the book. If you can't get the book to open on your computer, you may need to download the free e-reader called Adobe Digital Editions.

Read, search, navigate and annotate – all from your web browser. This brief video walks you through the easy-to-use Ebook Central online reader. You’ll also learn how to download, copy and print books or chapters, and how to quickly and accurately create a citation for your research.
