ADSUP 717: Research Seminar in Evaluating & Applying Educational Research

You can limit your search to both full e-books as well as e-book chapters.  The following example is just searching e-books at Hunter but you can also try expanding your search to all of CUNY. Note that Hunter students do not necessarily have access to all e-books available at other CUNY libraries.

Below are a few e-book databases that may be useful for your research. All of the e-book databases can be found in the list of databases on the library's website.

If you click on any of the links below and you are not on campus, you will be asked to log in with your Hunter email address and password. For more information about accessing electronic resources from home, consult our Remote Access Guide.
