Looking for e-Books
1) Here is the link to Bracken Health Sciences Library's e-books. There are different access points for e-books, for example, individual book titles or by vendor platforms such as STAT!Ref or Books@Ovid.
Figure 6. Bracken Health Sciences Library's E-Books by Title web page.
2) One of the advantages of using a vendor platform is that you can search a number of expert resources simultaneously. Select the STAT!Ref platform, search all the books looking for information on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Note: The search results will be slightly different if you search using the acronym COPD.
