00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.000
The best way to find ebooks is to use Summon or search ...

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.600

Make sure to sign in on the Library website

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.239

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.680
decide whether to use it for your research.

00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.560
If you choose to work with a book,

00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.200
you can download the full book

00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.799
or individual chapters for offline viewing

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:25.599
add the book to your bookshelf

00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.280
so you can return to it later.

00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:29.760
share a link to the book ...

00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:31.719
cite the book ...

00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.599
and read the book from your web browser

00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.200
without the need to download it first.

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.000
Let's take a look at Ebook Central's reader interface.

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.319
In the middle section, the viewer displays the pages.

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.719
Use your mouse or swipe to scroll though the book.

00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:48.840
In the upper section

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.480
the toolbar keeps useful buttons handy.

00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.599
The buttons are regrouped by function

00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:54.319
such as:

00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.159
Exporting

00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:58.319
annotating, ...

00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.120
viewing, ...

00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:01.599
and browsing.

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.439
On the left hand side, you will find 4 panes: ...

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.439
Book details,...

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.719
Table of contents,...

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.520
Annotations, ...

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:12.319
and Search.

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.879
When the reader opens, the chapter pane is selected by default

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.800
Here you can browse by chapter or search directly into ...

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:21.840
the book's text.

00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.400
The ability to search gives ebooks a clear advantage ...

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.800
over the paper edition when it comes to scan a title's content.

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.400
Enter keywords or a phrase in the search box.

00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.319
Remember to use quotation marks to search for a phrase.

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.039
Then press return to display results in the search pane.

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.240
The gauge next to the chapter headers indicates the ...

00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:45.840
matching rate for your search.

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.319
Click the triangle to disclose matching pages within the same chapter.

00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.759
Matching words are highlighted in the text.

00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:01.159
Use the zoom buttons to fit the page and scan the entire page ...

00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.759
or fit the page width to read and scroll more comfortably.

00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.000
One of my favorite features in Ebook Central is the ability to ...

00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.400
annotate the book to remember ideas

00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:14.960
or mark relevant sections.

00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.560
Select the text you want to highlight then select a color in the tooltip.

00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.960
You can also save a comment or reminder in a note.

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:28.240
Select the text then click the last icon in the tooltip.

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.599
Write your notes and click save when you are done.

00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.560
To mark the page, click the icon in the toolbar or ...

00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.400
in the upper right corner of the page.

00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.120
All your annotations are automatically saved.

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.280
Click on the star to reveal the Annotations pane...

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.840
select an annotation to jump to the corresponding page ...

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.280
or click the bin icon to delete it.

00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.080
Ebooks offer another major convenience over paper:

00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.960
you can cite, share and copy text to use ...

00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.680
directly in your favorite text editor.

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.199
To generate a reference, click the speech bubble icon ...

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.319
Then choose a citation format.

00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.520
There are multiple citation formats available,

00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:11.680
including Harvard.

00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:13.919
When using citation generators

00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.160
always check the citations offered to you

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.399
to make sure they match the BCU format.

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.639
The citation generated does not always match our standard.

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.600
Consult the referencing guide ...

00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:26.399
in the Library resources page linked below for details.

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.959
From here you can copy-paste to your references list

00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:33.600
or export your citation to your EndNote,

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.439
Mendeley or Zotero account!

00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.279
To copy a paragraph

00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.959
just select the text you want to quote

00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.279
and click on the first icon in the tooltip.

00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.199

00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.519

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:55.439
or print.

00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.439
Some options might be greyed out if not authorised

00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:00.519
or if you ran out of allowances.

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.800
You can verify your allowances in the book details pane.

00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.920
Allowances vary from one book to another

00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.439
If you are not allowed to download the full book

00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.839
You may be able to print a chapter to PDF

00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.480

00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.000

EBSCO Host displays a detailed record page including ...

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:05.079
bibliographic information and the publishers permissions.

00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.879
These permissions determine your allowances to save,

00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.400
copy or download a book.

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:11.719

Choose PDF over EPUB whenever possible.

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.879
The online PDF viewer offers more viewing and navigation ...

00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.680
options than the EPUB viewer.

00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.680
Before opening the book and using the annotations ...

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.680
functions, you should sign in with your EBSCO account.

00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:49.719
If you do not have an EBSCO account,

00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.319
you can create one on the sign-in page.

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.239
After you signed in, the folder icon is open

00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.239

right in your web browser.

00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.479
Let's take a glance at the online reader's interface.

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.639
The top toolbar contains the cite and save functions

00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.400
as well as a dictionary.

00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:18.560
The bottom toolbar

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.199
contains the navigation and zoom functions.

00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.680
On the left, the contents pane

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.080
is selected by default.

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.479
In the contents pane you can verify the publisher's permissions

00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.840
and navigate though the book using the table of content.

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.159
For instance, this book's publisher

00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.199
allows you to save up to 60 pages.

00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.599
You can also download the whole book for offline viewing.

00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.199
However you cannot select or copy text from the book pages.

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.039
The Search Within pane is a precise way to scan

00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.719
though the book using keywords.

00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.800
Use quotation marks to search for exact phrases.

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:06.960
Your keywords or search phrase are highlighted in the text.

00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.080
You can sort the search results by relevancy

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.560
or by order of appearance.

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.759
In the results, you can see the number of matches

00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.319
at the end of each chapter header,

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.120
section or page.

00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.319
Select a chapter or sections to reveal matching pages.

00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.080
The viewing option in the toolbar

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:26.960
can help you adjust the zoom level

00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.439
depending if you want to scan the whole page

00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.879
or read more comfortably.

00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.080
The full screen mode is useful

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.680
if you want to immerse yourself into the book

00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.120
or if you want to maximise the viewing area of your device.

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:42.800
To jump to another page

00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.439
just type the page number in place of the current one.

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.800
The annotation function is located under the My notes pane.

00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.759
Click the New Note button to type and save your comments.

00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.680

00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.800
Click the bin icon to delete a note.

00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.759
Ebooks offer another major convenience over paper:

00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.040
you can cite, save and export

00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.160
to your favourite notes app.

00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:22.399
Use the functions in the top toolbar to save a PDF to your computer,

00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:23.879
email a PDF,

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.360

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.120
or save the PDF to a Google Drive.

00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.439
To save text to PDF, choose the current page,

00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.079
or a range within the remaining page limit.

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:40.319
The email option includes a citation in the style of your choice.

00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.600
If you only need to cite the book,

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.920
click the cite button and scroll to the desired style.

00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.079
Select the citation text

00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.319
then copy/paste to your favourite notes app or text editor.

00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.560
As you do, always check the citations

00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.120
offered by citation generators.

00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.079
Their format does not always match

00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.319
the style recommended at BCU.

00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.519
Consult the referencing guide in the Library resources page ...

00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.040
linked below for details.

00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.040
If you use an app to collect your references and citations,

00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.279
click the Export button to generate a file in the relevant format.

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.199
The permalink button displays the direct link to the current page.

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.480
If the publisher allows it,

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.800
you can select the text to copy.

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.319
If you cannot select the text,

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.160
check the permissions in the contents pane.

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.240
When pasting to another app,

00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.800
the citation might not use your desired style.

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.920
You can specify your preferred citation style

00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.399
in the EBSCO Host preferences.

00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:45.439
Go to your folder page,

00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.000
then click the Preferences link in the top right corner.

00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.720
Here you can set the default format,

00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.480
along with other export settings.

00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.959

00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.439
In this video you have learned how to access,

00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:07.399
search,

00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:08.680
annotate

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.319
and reference an ebook using EBSCO Host.
