Research Database: Ebrary
The ebrary database is the Library resource to use in order to retrieve electronic books only. You can retrieve ebooks in the regular FCC Library catalog; however, the catalog will only search for your keywords in the Author, Title, Subject, and Notes area that describe an item. Ebrary, on the other hand, enables you to search full-text. That means that it will look for your keywords on every page in every book that you retrieve in your search. It is more comprehensive, in other words.
To access this databases from off-campus:
Students: enter your myFCC Username and Password when prompted.
Your Default myFCC Username is the letter W plus your student ID number. (Example: W1234567)
If you haven't changed your password, your Default Password is the first two letters of your last name plus the last five digits of your student ID number (Example: sm34567).
Faculty/Staff: Use your Network Username and Password when prompted.
