The LeDoux Library has online access to whole books and book sections. These e-books (or "electronic books") can be helpful for assignments or curiosity. They are quality resources that the library purchases for our patrons that are not available elsewhere for free.

How Do I Use From Home?

The LeDoux Library gets the resources on this page by ordering them directly from the company. To use them from home, your user name is your student ID number (or email ID for faculty and staff) and your password is your LSU Eunice email password. There should be only 2 boxes (Username and Password). (If not, see Journals page.)

When you log-in, you will see a list of online resources ONLY, so use the descriptions below to choose which one you want to use.

Electronic Reference and E-Books

Electronic Reference

Electronic reference books often go directly to the entry, and may not give the original page numbers from the print edition, but are faster to search. Just like with the print versions, reference books are great places to start for background information and to get ideas for words to use when searching the library catalog or indexes and databases.

• Credo Reference • Collection of about 400 reference books and growing, on about any topic imaginable. Great place to start if you don't know much about your subject.
• Salem Health • Electronic version of Magill's Medical Guide, an encyclopedia of medical topics.
• Salem History • Electronic version of Great Lives from History: The 20th Century, 1901-2000, with biographies of famous people from that time period.

E-Books

An e-book is almost the same as a print book, except you can read it on a computer. Most e-books will show every single page: covers, table of contents, and even the index.

• ebrary: Academic Complete • Large collection of e-books, chosen just for community college students. You can create your own account to add notes, highlight sections, and do much more.
• NetLibrary eBook Collection • Smaller group of e-books, but easier to use than ebrary. You can also create your own account to save your favorites and add notes.

Additional Electronic Resources

• CALI • The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction: interactive lessons on many law topics. Please contact the library for the code to set up your own account.
• A to Z Resources • Shows electronic resources only.
