The library also has access to over 50,000 e-books that are shared among the five libraries in the consortium. These are called "Electronic Government Documents."

To search for e-books in the library's catalog, go to Advanced Search, and select "Item Type=Electronic Book" and "Library=ALL" from the drop-down menus. You can add search terms to narrow your search.

You can also narrow your focus to Olin's holdings by selecting "Library=Olin" from the drop-down menus. This will leave out all of the "Electronic Government Documents," because they are collectively owned by all the libraries. However, it allows you to search Olin's ebrary and Netlibrary holdings together from one interface.
