What are Lehighs e-books?
An e-book is an electronic version of a printed book. It has familiar book elements, including a cover, title page, table of contents, text, footnotes, bibliography and index. E-books can be viewed anytime from any networked computer on or off-campus. No book reader device or software is required to read the book. Readers may preview (i.e., read) and check out these books just as they would a print book. ASA, Lehigh’s Library Catalog includes full cataloging records for all the e-books including title, authors, subjects and keywords. The James and Grace Schnabel Endowment funded Lehighs participation in the NetLibrary e-book collection, which the Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium, Inc. member (PALCI) libraries jointly access through netLibrary. Over fifteen hundred electronic books are now accessible from ASA, Lehigh’s Library Catalog.
