You can search without signing in, but once you click to access something, you'll be prompted to use your library barcode number or your LSC username/password.

E-Books

Books are also useful in the research process, and due to their length, can go deeper and farther into topics. Or maybe it's just a lot of overviews collected together -- it depends on the book!

Although, you are able to download a book, we recommend that you read the book from your device or download a chapter at a time. This limited download or viewing will keep the ebook available for all.
