ebrary  Academic Complete gives our patrons access to over 80,000 authoritative e-books in a wide range of subject areas, along with powerful tools to help them find, use, and manage the information they need. Conduct your research on the computer, or try our mobile apps for Nook, Android,  and for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch! You can download chapters, but not the whole book to Kindle (because Kindle does not use Adobe Digital Editions.)

You can find ebrary books by searching directly on the ebrary platform (it is available from the Database List).  You will also find ebrary books when you are searching Summon as they are all searchable there as well.  Eventually they will also be loaded into the Connelly Library catalog.

Need help?  Check out this LibGuide: http://guides.lasalle.edu/ebrary

The LibGuide will give you instructions on searching, navigating and downloading. It includes a short training video. There are also instructions on the ebrary homepage  itself.

ARTstor is a digital library of nearly one million images in the areas of art, architecture, the humanities, and social sciences with a set of tools to view, present, and manage images for research and pedagogical purposes. The ARTstor Digital Library is used by educators, scholars, and students at a variety of institutions including universities, colleges, museums, public libraries, and K-12 schools. The Digital Library serves users both within the arts and in disciplines outside of the arts. This includes historians of art and architecture and others engaged in the visual arts, as well as individuals in fields as diverse as American Studies, Anthropology, Asian Studies, Classical Studies, Literary Studies, Medieval Studies, Music, Religious Studies, and Renaissance Studies, all of whom find the images in ARTstor to be relevant to their teaching and research.
