How do I search for eBooks?

• Go to http://catalog.plsinfo.org and click on the Advanced Search tab.
• Enter the term you want to  search for in the first of the search boxes. For example, to find new  fiction audio eBook titles, enter: Fiction
• In the second of the search  boxes, enter: Audio*
• In the Material Type box, choose E-Books
• Submit  your search

You will get a list of titles in reverse chronological  order (most recent first) of audio eBooks.

By substituting  different terms in place of "Fiction" or "Audio" you can customize the  search results you will receive. For example, to get a listing of all the  latest eBooks, use an asterisk (*) in the first search box, and leave the second  box empty. (The asterisk will match all records, so you will see all the eBooks  available.)
