Video on searching WorldCat Discovery and HathiTrust

WorldCat Discovery

To find books (and book chapters) use DePauw's Discovery search.

The screencast below describes how to limit to e-books in WorldCat Discovery.

If you're taking classes and/or living on campus, you can request books be pulled for you, via our contactless pickup system.

If you're off-campus and you need just a chapter of a book that we have in print - just email me at thebb@depauw.edu and I'll see if we can get a scan of it (if it's not checked out).

How does the Contactless Pickup Service Work?

NOTE: there is no interlibrary loan (ILL) of books available in Fall 2020, whether you're on or off-campus.

Other sources of ebooks

HathiTrust
The "regular" description of HathiTrust is below - mainly provides pre-1923 full-text books for download. But we also currently have "emergency" access, meaning that many newer books that we have in print at DePauw are available to read online. Note that it's READ-access only (no download), and you have to log in with your DePauw account to check out the book for one hour at a time.

Digitized collections, books, journals, etc. from libraries and research institutions. Full-text access and downloading is available for materials published before 1923, including: US federal government documents; works still protected by copyright, but made available to HathiTrust with the permission of the copyright holder. Includes ability to keyword search the entire HathiTrust Digital Library, both public domain and in-copyright titles, to facilitate information discovery.

Google Books will not contain the full-text of any current books. But you can often see a limited number of pages (helpful in determining if the book might be useful for you) and can be useful in finding passages where certain keywords appear (you can search the full-text).
