5 Definition: E-book A book that has been digitized and is available online. Because e-books usually exist in print and online versions, they are different from websites. The content in e-books has gone through an editorial process that helps to establish and verify its information. Glossary of Research Terms. Southwestern Oregon Community College, July 23 2009 (accessed August 24, 2010).

6 E-book Capabilities An electronic book is typically delivered over a computer network. E-book capabilities vary by vendor, but most offer hyperlink navigation and keyword searching within the text. Printing and downloading functions are usually available, but are restricted to protect copyrights. Library and Information Technology Glossary. University of North Texas Health Science Center Library. May 12, 2010 (Accessed August 24, 2010)

7 To find books by title, click on the appropriate Books collection alphabetical letter. Note that there is a View complete list of books option although this drop down menu does not have hypertext links to the specific titles. You will need to go back to the Books collection A-Z list to open any e-books.

8 We have opened the A list of Books by Title. In January 2013, the John Wiley books were added to the e-book collection. Including the Elsevier e-books, there are over 20,000 titles. Note, in the highlighted box, that the list includes non health-related titles. You will need time to locate the titles that will be of use to you.

9 Now opened is the O list from the Books by title drop down menu. Again, the format is divided into Accessible Content (the default) and All Items options. This example is for a Group A institution with no exclusions. Note the two titles from Oxford University Press.

10 We now have opened is the O list from the Books by title drop down menu - for a Group B or Group A institution with exclusions. Note that there are only 2 items in the Accessible Content list. In the All Items display option, most of the titles will have the white box with the exclamation point.

11 The Oxford Textbook of Medicine is one of the foremost international textbooks of internal medicine. It provides practical guidance on the clinical management and prevention of disease, with in- depth coverage of the traditional specialty areas. Scroll down this page to the ‘expandable’ table of contents that details the contents of each topic.

12 The initial Contents page now is displayed. We will open Chapter 8 (Sexually Transmitted Diseases). Note the list of Subjects(s) in Oxford Medicine.

13 After scrolling down the page, we now view the opened chapter and will click on the link to Chapter 8.1 – Epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections.

14 Displayed is the Epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections sub-chapter. Note the option to Download chapter (pdf).

15 We have displayed the Introduction of this sub- chapter. Note the links to View-full sized figure and also the option to Download figure as PowerPoint slide.

16 Another invaluable resource is The Oxford Handbook of Tropical Medicine, 3 rd edition. This handbook provides an accessible and comprehensive, signs- and-symptoms based source of information on medical problems commonly seen in the tropics. It serves as a practical guide to diagnosis and management for medical practitioners and students. This handbook contains the same features as the previously discussed Oxford Textbook of Medicine.

17 We have opened a section of the ’C’ listing from the Find books by title A-Z drop down menu. We will look at titles from Elsevier and John Wiley.

18 From the ‘C’ drop down menu, we have opened one of the Elsevier Books titled Comprehensive and Molecular Phytopathology. This is one of several thousand Elsevier Books titles accessible from HINARI. From the Table of Contents page, you can view the various sections of the book. For each section, there are Preview, PDF, Related activities and Related reference work articles options.

19 We have opened the Conclusion PDF file of Comprehensive and Molecular Phytopathology. Return to Science Direct tab (title page of book) and click on Browse.

20 As previously noted, we have used the ‘C’ drop down menu to open an Elsevier Books titled Comprehensive and Molecular Phytopathology. To access a list of all the Elsevier Books, click on the Science Direct Publications button. You will be re-directed to ’A’ Publications page of Science Direct. Note also the search options for this portal.

21 Now opened is the display for the A page of the Journal/Book title listing. You have the options for an All or A-Z alphabetical links. The green box indicates access. Note also the various options to filter a search by Subject, Favorites, Journals and/or Books.

23 We have opened one of the Wiley titles – Acute Medical Emergencies. The access options are similar to other e-books: a summary and PDF of each chapter. The open lock symbol notes access.

24 From the ‘Find books by title C’ drop down menu, we have opened the John Wiley & Sons publication titled Current Protocols: Essential Laboratory Techniques, one of 16 Current Protocols titles available via HINARI. For life sciences researchers, Current Protocols feature overviews that examine differing methodologies and enable the researcher to identify the right protocol for an experiment. All protocols are field tested and scrutinized by Wiley’s editorial boards.

25 From the Current Protocols drop down menu, we have clicked on the expanded table of contents to the Unit level for Chapter 4 and Chapter 9. For each Unit, you can link to an Abstract, Full Article (HTML) or PDF version. Note that there is a keyword Search option.

26 We have opened the HTML option for Unit 9.1 Conventional Light Microscopy. It is titled Parts of the Light Microscopy. Note the Jump to… drop down menu that enables you to access the other sections of this Unit.

27 Finally, we have displayed the PDF version of Unit 9.1 Note how it displays in a similar fashion to a book page. The links to the other options are at the top of the page.

28 Via the ’A’ listing in the Find books by title A-Z drop down menus, we have opened the American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychiatry, 5 th edition (2008), one of 16 psychiatry related E-books available from this publisher. Note that the chapters also have the Download PowerPoint Slideshow option. This format would be useful for presentations and lectures.

29 We have displayed Chapter 3.The Role of Psychiatric Measures in Assessment and Treatment. Note that you can access the sections of this chapter by clicking on the links in the left-column frame.

30 We have displayed the Clinical Decision Tree, Chapter 3. Note the options to Email a link, Bookmark This and either Print Section or Print Chapter. You also can save the specific text as an html document.

32 Gabbard’s Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders Helping Parents, Youth and Teachers Understand Medications for Behavioral and Emotional Problems Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology Textbook of Psychotherapeutic Treatment What Your Patient Needs to Know About Psychiatric Medications Remember – to access the American Psychiatric Publishing’s e-books, you must login to HINARI and go to the specific letter of Book collection A-Z list.

33 Via the ’A’ listing in the Find books by title A-Z drop down menus, we have accessed Applied Mycology, an E-book published by CABI, a not-for profit science based development and information organization. This is one example from the 21 titles in the human health and nutrition sub-set of CAB eBooks available via HINARI. These titles include Home Parenteral Nutrition, Integrated Food Safety and Public Health, and Parasitic Flatworms. Note: the CAB publications are large PDF files that are slow to download. You are able to download an individual chapter which is a considerably faster option.

34 We have opened the initial page of Applied Mycology. It is a PDF file that allows you to print all or part of the material.

35 From the page with the link to Applied Mycology, we have clicked on the listing for Human, Health, Food & Nutrition. This page gives you a listing of the CAB E-books in this broad subject category and links to the full-text for those available to HINARI users. Reminder – access the CAB E-books from the Find journals by A-Z drop down menus.
