00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.300
Finding books and ebooks.

00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:06.700
When you have watched this video,

00:00:06.750 --> 00:00:09.200
you will be able to find

00:00:09.150 --> 00:00:10.800
and open online ebooks.

00:00:10.750 --> 00:00:13.300
Search for hardcopy books on the

00:00:13.290 --> 00:00:15.900
library shelves and know where to get help

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:19.100
if needed. Academic books can provide

00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:22.200
a useful introduction to a new topic.

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:24.500
You don't need to read the whole thing,

00:00:24.490 --> 00:00:27.500
simply pick out the chapters and

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:29.500
content that you need.

00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:30.600
To find a book,

00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:32.300
go to the library home page.

00:00:34.590 --> 00:00:37.200
We are going to use the library

00:00:37.230 --> 00:00:39.100
search engine called Discover to

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:41.500
search for a book and an ebook.

00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:44.000
Scroll down till you see the Discover

00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:46.500
box and type in your search terms.

00:00:46.490 --> 00:00:49.300
Then click on the search button.

00:00:49.330 --> 00:00:52.500
You will then see the results of your search.

00:00:52.470 --> 00:00:55.000
This includes journal articles,

00:00:55.030 --> 00:00:56.800
books, book chapters,

00:00:56.820 --> 00:00:59.100
all kinds of resources.

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:03.300
We're going to narrow it down to just books.

00:01:03.290 --> 00:01:05.000
On the right hand menu,

00:01:05.030 --> 00:01:07.400
look for resource type and

00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:09.700
select books and book chapters.

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:15.700
Then click apply filters.

00:01:18.630 --> 00:01:20.700
The first book we're going to look

00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:23.200
at is an ebook or online book.

00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:29.000
On the results page you will see items

00:01:28.990 --> 00:01:32.300
with a green available online tag.

00:01:32.330 --> 00:01:35.300
You can click on that and it will take

00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:38.100
you from the library's Discover search

00:01:38.070 --> 00:01:41.300
and out to the publishers home page.

00:01:41.300 --> 00:01:44.400
You will be able to read the text online

00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:46.500
or download a PDF.

00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:48.700
Every publisher is different,

00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.400
so this opening page will tell

00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:54.400
you what you are able to do.

00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:57.200
With ebooks you can search within the book

00:02:02.260 --> 00:02:04.800
This publisher allows you to

00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:07.900
read online and also to download

00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:11.200
chapters of the book as a PDF.

00:02:11.230 --> 00:02:13.600
Let's return to our search and

00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:16.000
look at a different publisher.

00:02:16.030 --> 00:02:19.800
So again, click on available online.

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.700
You will be taken to the

00:02:22.660 --> 00:02:24.100
publishers home page.

00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:25.600
Note the details here.

00:02:25.550 --> 00:02:28.500
You will be told how many pages you

00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.200
can copy from the book and how many

00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:33.900
pages you can print from the book.

00:02:33.880 --> 00:02:37.100
The best way to view an ebook

00:02:37.130 --> 00:02:40.000
is to click read online.

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.600
The full text of the book

00:02:41.610 --> 00:02:43.200
will then appear on screen.

00:02:46.890 --> 00:02:48.500
You can search within the book.

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.000
And jump directly to the relevant content.

00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:04.300
You can bookmark the page

00:03:04.250 --> 00:03:06.900
to come back and read again.

00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:09.600
You can also highlight sections.

00:03:09.590 --> 00:03:12.100
And you can make a note.

00:03:12.070 --> 00:03:15.200
The next time you log in and use this book.

00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.600
You will see all of your bookmarks,

00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:21.100
highlights and notes available to you.

00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:24.000
Just click on the star on the left hand side.

00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:30.500
Now let's look at finding

00:03:30.510 --> 00:03:32.100
a book in the library.

00:03:34.850 --> 00:03:37.500
We start a new discover search type

00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:40.300
in our search terms. We click on the

00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:41.900
search icon to start our search.

00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:48.600
And again we select books from the refine

00:03:48.610 --> 00:03:52.200
our search on the right hand side menu.

00:03:52.170 --> 00:03:55.400
This time I'm also going to select

00:03:55.420 --> 00:03:57.300
Glasgow campus under library

00:03:57.310 --> 00:04:00.200
to show me items held there.

00:04:00.180 --> 00:04:03.900
You can also apply any additional

00:04:03.950 --> 00:04:06.900
filters like date published.

00:04:06.930 --> 00:04:08.800
When you look at the record now,

00:04:08.750 --> 00:04:10.200
you will see.

00:04:10.210 --> 00:04:12.200
It has available at,

00:04:12.170 --> 00:04:14.200
and it's going to tell you three

00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:15.900
key pieces of information.

00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:18.100
It's going to tell you which

00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:20.000
library you can find it at,

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.600
which floor of the library it's on

00:04:22.650 --> 00:04:24.000
and the shelf number.

00:04:27.150 --> 00:04:29.200
When you click on available at,

00:04:29.190 --> 00:04:31.200
it will give you more information.

00:04:31.170 --> 00:04:32.900
It will tell you how many

00:04:32.900 --> 00:04:34.500
items are on the shelf.

00:04:36.780 --> 00:04:39.900
You also have the option to request the item.

00:04:39.900 --> 00:04:42.300
So, this click and collect service

00:04:42.290 --> 00:04:44.700
means that when you send the request

00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.000
you'll be sent an e-mail that will

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.300
tell you that you are able to pick

00:04:49.260 --> 00:04:53.000
the item up from the library desk.

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.200
Sometimes a record will have

00:04:55.220 --> 00:04:57.000
more than one version.

00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.200
Click on see all versions.

00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.000
This is most commonly used when

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.000
we have more than one edition.

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.900
So for this item we have both the 2018

00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:10.200
edition and the 2011,

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:12.900
we also have it in both formats.

00:05:12.900 --> 00:05:15.800
We have it as an ebook and we have

00:05:15.810 --> 00:05:18.500
it as a hard copy book. To get

00:05:18.540 --> 00:05:21.200
back to the main results list

00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:23.100
Just shut down the list of

00:05:23.130 --> 00:05:25.100
versions by clicking on the cross.

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.000
If you need any help at all,

00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.200
finding online books or using

00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.900
hardcopy books in the library -

00:05:31.860 --> 00:05:34.400
go to the library website and

00:05:34.370 --> 00:05:36.500
use the library chat box.

00:05:36.460 --> 00:05:41.300
e-mail us on library@gcu.ac.uk

00:05:41.300 --> 00:05:45.200
or go, in person, to the library desk.

00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:47.000
Thank you for watching.
