 * Using Ebrary E-Books on an iPad**


 * A checklist of what you will need to get started:**
 * Free Ebrary Account
 * Free Bluefire Reader App


 * Finding an Ebrary Ebook in the UA Library Catalog**

Start by conducting a keyword search in the Library’s catalog. Search using your topic, at the end of your search add "and Ebrary" (Example: black death and Ebrary). You will receive a list of results. The first result listed is an e-book. You can tell it is an e-book when it has the GO button with an arrow beside it and it doesn’t have a location, call number, or status. To go directly into the e-book click on the GO button. To access more detailed information click on the title.



Once you are in the record you can access the book by clicking on the link “Connect to title online (UA network users only)”. If you are working off campus you will need to log in with your UAnet and password. (The record is pictured below)
