Definition: E-book A book that has been digitized and is available online. Because e-books usually exist in print and online versions, they are different from websites. The content in e-books has gone through an editorial process that helps to establish and verify its information. Glossary of Research Terms. Southwestern Oregon Community College, July 23 2009 (accessed August 24, 2010).

E-book Capabilities An electronic book is typically delivered over a computer network. E-book capabilities vary by vendor, but most offer hyperlink navigation and keyword searching within the text. Printing and downloading functions are usually available, but are restricted to protect copyrights. Library and Information Technology Glossary.

Access to the HINARI E-books is via the Find journals by A-Z drop down menus. First, we will click on the View complete list of journals – for a a listing of all the E-book titles. Note that the ‘other E-book Internet sites’ discussed in this module do not require HINARI login.

The HINARI E-books are noted at the top of the List of HINARI Journals drop down menu. Using the + Book: designation, the titles are organized in alphabetical order. From this list, there are no hypertext links to the full-text. You must go to the Find journals by A-Z drop down menus. Note: As of January 2011, 85 E-books were listed. This number continues to grow as staff adds more links to the books. To view what new titles have been added, you will need to recheck this list periodically.

We have opened the ’O’ listing from the Find journals by A-Z list drop down menus. The + Book: designation displays the titles of three books from Oxford University Press Books and CABI Publishing. We begin the overview of these resources by opening the Oxford Textbook of Medicine, 5 th edition (2010). In the future, access to HINARI E-books also will be from the Find journals by subject category drop down menus.

The Oxford Textbook of Medicine is one of the foremost international textbooks of internal medicine. It provides practical guidance on the clinical management and prevention of disease, with in-depth coverage of the traditional specialty areas. The initial page contains an ‘expandable’ table of contents that details the contents of each topic.

We have expanded the Contents for chapters 7 (Infection) and 8 (Sexually Transmitted Diseases). Note that, for most chapters, you can get a summary [Essentials] and view the graphics separately [Browse Figures].

We have displayed the Essentials of Chapter 8. 1 – Epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections. You can click on the [Full Text] link for the complete text of this sub-chapter.
