BA214 - Business Communications: Find Books & More

Chemeketa's library search has many electronic books.  For information about accessing and using e-books, please see About E-Books.

Printed books that say "Available" under the description will show a location in the library and a call number. Most of the books that can be checked out are in the General Collection, at the far end of the library. The call number is shown in parentheses after the library location. Use the call number to find the item on the shelf.

Electronic books say "Online access" or "Full text available" under the description. "Online access" is a link that will take you directly to the book. "Full text available" will take you to a link that you can follow to read the book.

This short video will show you how to use Library Search to discover books and articles in print and full text online at Chemeketa and many other libraries.

Use Summit to request books and other items from our college and university partners in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Items will be shipped to Chemeketa for you to pick up at the Circulation Desk and to use free of charge. You must be logged into the Primo library search to see Summit links.
