Tips for using TCC Library ebooks:
If you're off-campus, make sure you are logged into or authenticated through mytcc.tulsacc.edu with your Student ID number and password. You can get to the library website under Quick Links in MyTCC.
To find an ebook within each collection, search by keyword.
If you search by keyword, on the search results page in the left column under "Refine Results", check the box, "Limit to Full Text". This filter will display full-text eBooks only in your results.
For each ebook, you can read the full text in your internet browser or download a file (PDF or EPUB). To download the file, select the Full Download link displayed on the left side of the book you want to check out. You'll be prompted to log in to your My EBSCOhost account, or create a My EBSCOhost account if you don't have one. For more info: Instructions on how to create a My EBSCOhost account. (Please note that a small percentage of the titles available in the eBook Collection are not available for download.)
Once you've logged into your My EBSCOhost account, you can download the ebook. You will need Adobe Digital Editions (and an Adobe account) to open and read the EPUB files. For PDF files, you need the free software, Adobe Acrobat Reader.
