Using OBIS (the library catalog)
OBIS
OBIS is the best search tool for finding and linking to E-books owned by the Oberlin College Libraries. You can search using keywords or if you are looking for a specific book you can search by title or author. You can identify an item as an online resource by it's single title entry. It will not display a Location, Call #, or Status.
Example: Wind turbine control and monitoring is an E-book you can connect to online.
