If you know in advance that the book or periodical of interest to you is an online resource at Fordham Libraries, you may access it via this portal. If in doubt, ask a librarian.

 

• Find the e-book in the Library Catalog.
   
• Locate the e-book in your results; the notation will say [electronic resource] within or at the end of the title.
   
• Click on the small, blue letters URL or the actual url to open the e-book in the Item Information section of the record.
   
• Log off as soon as you are finished; many e-books accommodate only one user at a time. 

Google Books contains over 15 million scanned books.  Books can be viewed in 1 of 4 ways depending on their status: full text pdf for books out of copyright or with publisher's permission; limited preview of pages (sometimes quite extensive); snippet (a few sentences that include your search terms); or no preview.  Bibliographic information is provided for each book including links to reviews, author info, web references, and related books.
