2. If the book is available online it will say "Available Online":
3. Click on the title of the book to see which library database provides full-text access to the book. Then click the link under 'View Online':
4. This will take you to the database that contains the eBook (for example, EBSCO eBook). If you are off-campus, you will see this login screen:
Faculty and staff will use the same username that they use for their LACCD email account (do not include @laccd.edu in the username) and the password will be Elac + the last five digits of your employee ID number.
Students will use their student ID number as the username and the password will be Elac + birth month + birth date (i.e. for a birthday January 1, 1990 the password will be Elac0101).
