Help with Acorn

Advanced Search Options: Search Only Electronic Books

• Go to Advanced Search Options and click on the Other Searches tab.
• Enter your search and select the Search Only Electronic Books check box.

Acorn will limit your search to items in the database with an item type of e-book. These search results will not include electronic journals, electronic versions of government publications, or web sites.

In Acorn, most e-books are, by definition, held by the "Internet" library. Limiting an all e-books search to a particular library may not retrieve all items of interest.
