Remote Services at Your Regional Libraries: eTextbooks, eBooks, and Open Educational Resources

The Miami University Libraries Search includes thousands of e-books. Here's how to find them:

Search By: Keyword 

To See Only Ebooks: Below the search blank with your keyword, click the option for "Books."

Then after you run the search for books on your topic, click the box next to "Available online" (circled in orange in the screenshot) in the "Filter Your  Results" menu on the left-hand side of the page. Be sure to click "Apply filters" at the bottom of that column. You may also use other filters, such as the Publication Date, to narrow your search.

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 "Citation." Then choose the citation style you would like to use. Clicking "Copy citation into clipboard" will let you paste the citation into another document. Always be sure to double-check your copied citations.

Remember that when you are not on campus, all of the database, articles, ebooks, and other resources linked on the libraries' websites should prompt you to login with your Miami UniqueID and password to access them.

If a resource does not prompt you for a login, and also does not let you in when you click it, then here's a quick trick to use:

Just stick https://proxy.lib.miamioh.edu/login?url= in front of the address for the resource (so for instance, you could use https://proxy.lib.miamioh.edu/login?url=https://www.chronicle.com/article/when-you-cant-send-students-to-the-campus-library/ to get into an article on the Chronicle of Higher Education website).

There are thousands of freely-available textbooks, images, teaching materials, and other items provided using open-licenses.  Use the tools below to search for these items, or consult our Textbook Alternatives and Open Educational Resources (OER) guide.
