A Number of Study Guides Now Available as E-Books

Do you need to study for an exam or review a particular topic? If the book you want is checked out or you need to access it from your computer, we now offer a number of review and examination question books as electronic books that can be accessed through the Henry Ford System Libraries online catalog. In the previous issue of the Sladen Library News, we explained how to perform a general search for e-books in the catalog. Finding test review books generally follows the same procedure.

1) Begin by switching to the “Power Search” option located below the search box.

2) In Power Search, enter in keywords that describe book. You may want to try “pretest”, “exam”, “examination”, or “review”. If you search for more than one term at a time, be sure to change each drop down menu to “words or phrase” and “OR” the terms.

3) Finally, at the Type field, use the drop down menu to change the field to “electronic”, and then click Search.

A list of e-books matching your search will display. In order to access the electronic content, click on the small chain link icon located at the bottom right corner of each listing.

A number of our new test review books come from NetLibrary. A few of these titles include:

Case Files Internal Medicine, Eugene C. Toy, 2009
Passing the USMLE: Clinical Knowledge , Ahmad Wagih Abdel-Halim, 2009
Neuroscience: Pretest Self-Assessment and Review, Allan Siegel, 2007
Pretest Obstetrics and Gynecology: Pretest Self-Assessment and Review 12th ed, Karen M. Schneider, 2009
