What are eBooks?

eBooks are electronic versions of print books. Like print books, the text found in eBooks is often enriched with photos, illustrations, graphs and tables. In eBooks, users can navigate through the text (e.g. easily search for specific passages) in ways not possible in print.

What is netLibrary and the Cerro Coso Community College eBook Collection?

The Cerro Coso Community College has purchased approximately 21,532 electronic books (eBooks) from netLibrary. Cerro Coso Community College in concert with netLibrary, makes it possible for you to access a wide range of research, reference and reading materials online. The Cerro Coso Community College eBook Collection was purchased to meet the needs of our library's users. In addition, when you search the collection, you'll note an option for publicly accessible eBooks — classic works of literature and history.

Accessing the eBooks      NEW!

Your Student ID number will give you access to the eBooks when you click on the Log-in link.

  1. Select the Log In link at the top left side of the eBook page when the netLibrary opens the access to the eBook.
  2. At the log in pop-up window, put your Student ID number [College generated ID] in the box.
  3. Click on the "View this eBook" link in the eBook Details box. 
  4. These steps allow you to have access to any of the eBooks available in Cerro Coso Community College Library's eBook collection.

If this does not work, it is because your registration was later than the date we put all of the ID numbers into the library system file. The page that informs you that your ID was denied will have a link to apply for access.

After applying, your Student ID will be added to the online file. You will then be sent an email within 24 hours during the regular work week informing you that you have access to the online eBooks.

Logging in

Each time you wish to check out an eBook when you access it remotely, you must first log in. (You must access the eBooks first through the Cerro Coso Community College Library's web page).
How to log in:

  1. Go to "FIND: Books - CC Library Catalog" on the CCCC Library web page. Search for the subject that you want by using the Subject Keyword. (You may also go directly to the full listing of the Cerro Coso eBook Collection by doing an "Author Keyword" search using the search term "netLibrary".  This is NOT the best way to find your subject.)

  2. The Subject search will bring up a list of books.  The eBooks are the ones with "electronic resource" or "computer file" as part of the title.  After selecting your choice of the titles by clicking on the hyperlink, scroll down to the "Web Location" link that will take you directly to the ebook in the netLibrary.

  3. Select the Log In link when the netLibrary page opens at the top left side of the page.

  4. At the log in page, put your Student ID number in the box.

  5. Click on the "View this eBook" link in the eBook Details box when the new window opens. 

  6. These steps allow you to have access to any of the eBooks available in Cerro Coso Community College Library's collection.

Searching for an eBook

Start your search in one of two places:

A keyword search allows you to search for a word or phrase in the title, author, Library of Congress subject heading, series, name, general and ISBN fields. To perform a keyword search, enter the search term.

To perform a more expanded search, click on the Expanded area in the top blue toolbar and fill in any or all of the fields. To do a phrase search, submit your search in quotes – for example, “small business.” Select the red arrow button to display search results.

You have the option to select the "My List" box in the  upper left hand corner. This feature allows you to add titles to a list so you can easily access them at a later time without executing another search.  You must sign into your library account by using your college-generated ID.

Browsing an eBook

You may browse an eBook without logging in. Browsing an eBook is the equivalent of taking a book off the shelf and looking through it. While you are actively using it, no other user will have access to it.

How to browse an eBook:

  1. Search for an eBook.
  2. Select the eBook title from your search results to display the Item Information page.
  3. Select the Web Location link.
  4. The eBook is displayed. To learn how to use an eBook, select the Help tab at the top of your screen.
  5. After looking at the eBook, be sure that you log out.  Otherwise, the book will be charged to your account as an overdue book.

Must I be connected to the Internet to access netLibrary's titles?

Yes. To view, browse, and check out your library's eBook collection, you must begin online.

Can I print an eBook?

You can print single pages of an eBook, much like you can print a single page of a print book on a photocopy machine. Sections of pages, within limitations, can also be copied and pasted into reports and presentations.

Who do I contact if I need more information?

Staff at Cerro Coso Community College Library can answer your questions about using eBooks. Need help over the telephone? Call Cerro Coso Community College Library at 760-384-6131.
