Videos can be searched by subject or by patient, making the collection useful for demonstration, discussion, and case studies.

• NetLibrary is now EBSCO E-Book Collection
  The former NetLibrary was acquired by EBSCO, and is now searchable by the more user-friendly EBSCO interface. The collection includes approximately 17,000 electronic books that may be read online using any computer. Although the books are not downloadable, you may print or e-mail up to 60 pages of most titles, so that you can read your selected material offline. Each book is accessible to one person at a time, for the length of his or her online session. (Sessions automatically time out after 30 minutes of inactivity, releasing the book for other users.) You may record electronic notes as you read your selection and save your notes in a personal EBSCO folder. You can search for appropriate books by keyword or by category, and each individual book can be searched by keyword.
