Search Tips:
- You can find maps by searching the Library Catalog.
- Try keywords like: cartography, atlases, maps, geography.
- Do a subject search for “cartography” and look for related or narrower terms.
- Search broad keywords because you’re not searching the entire content of the ebook yet.
- In the Library catalog, to find only Ebooks: narrow your search results by clicking on format > electronic.
- Log in to ebooks with the same information you use to log into your school email.
Examples of ebooks you'll find in the Library Catalog:
- Boyd, A. (2007). An atlas of world affairs. Array London: Routledge. Retrieved from NetLibrary.
- Gilbert, M. (2006). The Routledge atlas of American history. Array London: Routledge. Retrieved from NetLibrary.
