Need another source for your paper? No need to leave your room. Check out some of the e-Books available through Oesterle Library. For general information or to get some ideas for developing your topic, try searching these collections of subject encyclopedias and reference books: Gale Virtual Reference Library, Credo Reference, and Sage eReference. In each collection, you can search across all the resources or access a particular work such as theEncyclopedia of Urban Legends or the Encyclopedia of Business Ethics and Society.

For access to over two thousand electronic books, try NetLibrary. These are regular academic library books that you can use online. My search for “McDonald’s” resulted in 301 books; some covering the business and marketing aspects of the company, some focusing on the company history, and some addressing the health issues with fast food. Connect to any of these resources and more, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica, from the library’s Find Books, Movies, and More page.
