Finding E-Books in OU Libraries

If you know the title of the book you're looking for, you can use Discover to search for that title through the libraries' homepage or on the Home section of this guide. Some titles may show up as "Multiple Versions Found" if we have print and electronic versions. If you only want to see e-books for a given topic, limit your search to Full Text Online.

Example:

1. Search for the book title, 'Emery and Rimoin's Principles and Practice of Medical Genetics'.

 

2. If multiple versions are found, look for the version that says "Online Access" and then click on the book title or the "Online Access" hyperlink.

 

3. Click the full text available link under "View It," and you will be directed to the e-book provider's platform. You may be prompted to enter your username (your4x4) and password to access the e-book platform.

 

4. E-books come in several file types, but some of the most common are PDF, EPUB, and Amazon Kindle (.azw3, .azw, .kf8) files. In this case, you can download PDFs of the book.
