Search: As described in the box above.

Get Only Ebooks: In the left-hand column, click on the arrow next to "Material Type" and then check the box next to "Electronic Resources". (red arrow in screenshot)

Change Date Range: by sliding the rule under "Publication Date" or by typing in specific years in the boxes. (red box in screenshot) Your results list will then only include items that were published within your specified date range.

Click on the title of an item to find out more information about that item and to get the citation for that item. To find the citation, click on the icon that looks like a yellow piece of paper and says "Cite" when you hover over it. Then find the MLA citation, and you can highlight, copy, and paste that into your references page. Always be sure to double-check your copied citations, though. Sometimes formatting, such as italics and hanging indents, aren’t correct. Information is typically in the correct order, but good to double-check that as well.

What is an eBook?  A complete, electronic book that can be viewed, downloaded, or searched.
Where are they?  They are listed as "electronic resource" in Miami's online catalog.  They are also searchable as separate eBook collections by subject discipline or by publisher.  
How do I read one?  In Miami's catalog, within the item record, just click "Connect to resource online". 
If you are off-campus, enter your Miami Unique ID and Password to open and read the eBook, when prompted.
