WSU Libraries have many ebooks available to students, faculty, and staff through our web site. These ebooks are in databases as well as as individual titles. They cover many disciplines including business, education, engineering, health sciences, information technology, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Ebooks are all full-text and can be read online through a regular web browser. Some ebooks can be downloaded to mobile devices such as iPADS, Android devices, and Kindle Fires.

An electronic book (also referred to "e-book", "ebook", "eBook", "digital book") is a monograph made available in a digital format and designed to be read online. Many ebooks preserve the print book's original layout and design. They can be read and often downloaded on computers, laptops, tablets, PDAs, mobile devices such as iPAD and Android iphones, and dedicated e-book readers such as the Nook, Sony Reader, or Kindle Fire using freely available ebook software.

WSU Libraries will continue to purchase print books as only 30% of published books are currently available as ebooks. However, the Libraries will increasingly purchase ebooks when available because they can be accessed 24/7 by faculty and students; provide powerful search tools for locating information; and often have special features than can help users create automatic citations, highlight text, take notes, and print portions of text.

Our ebook collections are avilable for free to WSU students, faculty, and staff 24/7. Individual ebooks can be found by searching the Online Catalog and Discovery Service (SmartSearch) that are linked from the library's home page. You may also access ebooks through links to specific ebook collections that are available from the Electronic Books link on the home page; from the tabs (Major Collections, eReference, and Free Ebooks) at the top of this guide, and from the A-Z listing of Electronic Databases on the home page. If off-campus, you will be asked to enter your WSU ID and password before accessing purchased ebooks.

Click on the Ebook Devices and Software tab for information on compatible portable devices as well as downloading and printing options for selected ebook collections. There are also links to support sites for e-readers such as Nook and Sony Reader and links to software needed to download ebooks, e.g. Adobe Digital Editions, Bluefire Reader, etc.

Historically, databases of electronic books have often been limited to on-screen viewing and limited printing. Now, with easier availability to affordable personal devices that allow you to read on the go, downloadable books have gained in popularity. The Bentley Library provides both types of ebook databases. Whether you are downloading the latest fiction and nonfiction to take to the beach, studying for licensing or other examinations, or researching and writing a paper, we have a database for that!

Over 500 eBooks and audiobooks with an emphasis on classic and popular fiction and nonfiction, but including some research materials. New materials are added on an ongoing basis; suggestions for new materials are welcomed at our Suggest a Purchase page.

Every book and audiobook in this collection may be downloaded to some combination of computers, tablets, e-readers, smartphones, mp3 players and iPods. Available formats include Kindle, EPUB, and PDF for ebooks, and mp3 and WMA for audiobooks. Not all formats are available for all titles.

Direct access is via Overdrive Downloadable Books. A Bentley username and password is required to use the database both on- and off-campus. In addition, depending on your desired format and device, you may need to download additional software. More information is available in the Getting Started area on the Overdrive home page.

Books on business, finance, information technology, health and wellness, and productivity. Also included: study guides for exams such as the CFA, and software manuals for business and statistics applications such as SAS and SPSS.

How does it work? This database is searchable by title, author, keyword, publisher and more, and browsable by broad topic areas such as Business, Finance, IT/Technical and Well-Being.

Using the EBSCO search interface, browse by category, or search the database by keyword, title, author, subject, and more. Click the link titled eBook Full Text to view the content, then navigate using the linked Table of Contents, or jump to desired sections using the search box.
