I have actually used ebooks before from CSUEB. It is a lot easier to find journal articles online and most universities have rights to many online articles. At CSUEB I was really interested in the daughters of King George III; there was one book in the Alameda County Library but it was checked out. CSUEB did not have the book but they did have it in ebook form. I started reading it online and eventually the hard copy came my way though ACL.
I was pleased that through ACL it was extremely easy to access the ebooks. I explored the site, the searchers were very simple. One think that I could not find was fiction books. There are over 5,ooo ebooks in the system which is great; however, there could be times when a fiction book could be needed online.
Ebooks are a great resource when you don’t want to check out the book or are at home and need a resource and aren’t able to get a hard copy of the book. It is a way to have easy access to a plethora of material that we normally would not have access to so easily. There are only so many books on building can hold but it is almost limitless as to the amount of books that can be held online.
