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.

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.

To find books by title, click on the appropriate
Books collection alphabetical letter.
Note that there is a View complete list of
books option although this drop down menu
does not have hypertext links to the specific
titles. You will need to go back to the Books
collection A-Z list to open any e-books.
We have opened the A list of Books by Title. In
January 2013, the John Wiley books were
added to the e-book collection. Including the
Elsevier e-books, there are over 20,000 titles.
Note, in the highlighted box, that the list includes
non health-related titles. You will need time to
locate the titles that will be of use to you.
Now opened is the O list from the Books
by title drop down menu. Again, the
format is divided into Accessible Content
(the default) and All Items options. This
example is for a Group A institution with
no exclusions. Note the two titles from
Oxford University Press.
We now have opened is the O list from the
Books by title drop down menu - for a Group
B or Group A institution with exclusions. Note
that there are only 2 items in the Accessible
Content list. In the All Items display option,
most of the titles will have the white box with
the exclamation point.
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.
We have displayed the graphics
separately by clicking on the
[Browse Figures] option.
In this final Oxford Textbook of Medicine
slide, we have clicked on the Save option
from the web browser. You can save the
information as a single html file to the
computer’s C drive, a flash drive or a CD.
To view it, you must use your web browser.
Another invaluable resource is The Oxford Handbook
of Tropical Medicine, 3rd edition. This handbook
provides an accessible and comprehensive, signsand-symptoms based source of information on
medical problems commonly seen in the tropics. It
serves as a practical guide to diagnosis and
management for medical practitioners and students.
This handbook contains the same features as the
previously discussed Oxford Textbook of Medicine.
We have opened a section of
the ’C’ listing from the Find
books by title A-Z drop down
menu. We will look at titles
from Elsevier and John Wiley.
From the ‘C’ drop down menu, we have
opened one of the Elsevier Books titled
Comprehensive and Molecular
Phytopathology. This is one of 400+
Elsevier Books titles accessible from
HINARI.
From the Table of Contents page, you
can view the various sections of the book.
For each section, there are Preview, PDF,
Related activities and Related reference
work articles options.
We have opened the Conclusion
PDF file of Comprehensive and
Molecular Phytopathology.
Return to Science Direct tab (title
page of book) and click on Browse.
As previously noted, we have used the ‘C’ drop
down menu to open an Elsevier Books titled
Comprehensive and Molecular Phytopathology.
To access a list of all the Elsevier Books, click on
the Science Direct Browse button. You will be
re-directed to Browse page of Science Direct.
In the Browse option box, we will delete
the checks in the Abstracts only and
Journals and Book Series boxes and click
on Apply. After the new A page is
displayed, we will click on the All button in
the Journal/Book title A-Z list. This will list
the 400+ Elsevier Books titles and Book
Series accessible from HINARI.
We now have displayed an A-Z list of
all Elsevier Books and Book Series.
This slide displays the initial titles of
the list. Note the green key icon that
notes access to the specific titles.

We have opened one of the Wiley
titles – Acute Medical Emergencies.
The access options are similar to
other e-books: a summary and PDF
of each chapter. The open lock
symbol notes access.
From the ‘Find books by title C’ drop down
menu, we have opened the John Wiley &
Sons publication titled Current Protocols:
Essential Laboratory Techniques, one of 16
Current Protocols titles available via HINARI.
For life sciences researchers, Current
Protocols feature overviews that examine
differing methodologies and enable the
researcher to identify the right protocol for
an experiment. All protocols are field tested
and scrutinized by Wiley’s editorial boards.
From the Current Protocols drop down
menu, we have clicked on the expanded
table of contents to the Unit level for Chapter
4 and Chapter 9.
For each Unit, you can link to an Abstract,
Full Article (HTML) or PDF version. Note
that there is a keyword Search option.
We have opened the HTML option for
Unit 9.1 Conventional Light Microscopy.
It is titled Parts of the Light Microscopy.
Note the Jump to… drop down menu
that enables you to access the other
sections of this Unit.
Finally, we have displayed the PDF
version of Unit 9.1 Note how it
displays in a similar fashion to a
book page. The links to the other
options are at the top of the page.
Via the ’A’ listing in the Find books by title A-Z drop
down menus, we have opened the American
Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychiatry, 5th
edition (2008), one of 16 psychiatry related E-books
available from this publisher.
Note that the chapters also have the Download
PowerPoint Slideshow option. This format would be
useful for presentations and lectures.
We have displayed Chapter 3.The Role of Psychiatric
Measures in Assessment and Treatment.
Note that you can access the sections of this chapter
by clicking on the links in the left-column frame.
We have displayed the Clinical Decision Tree, Chapter 3.

Remember – to access the American Psychiatric
Publishing’s e-books, you must login to HINARI and
go to the specific letter of Book collection A-Z list.
Via the ’A’ listing in the Find books by title A-Z drop down
menus, we have accessed Applied Mycology, an E-book
published by CABI, a not-for profit science based
development and information organization.
This is one example from the 21 titles in the human health
and nutrition sub-set of CAB eBooks available via HINARI.
These titles include Home Parenteral Nutrition, Integrated
Food Safety and Public Health, and Parasitic Flatworms.
Note: the CAB publications are large PDF files that are
slow to download. You are able to download an individual
chapter which is a considerably faster option.
We have opened the initial page of Applied
Mycology. It is a PDF file that allows you
to print all or part of the material.
From the page with the link to Applied Mycology, we
have clicked on the listing for Human, Health, Food
& Nutrition. This page gives you a listing of the CAB
E-books in this broad subject category and links to
the full-text for those available to HINARI users.
