eBooks take off at the Ritz!

Accessing electronic books at the DCC Library has just gotten a big lift. First, we've added more than 16,000 additional titles to ebrary, the Ritz' s main collection of ebooks. These books cover all academic subjects and include not only new titles, but classics as well.

Then there's the EBSCO eBooks Collection. While it contains only 1,600 books, many of the titles in this system were picked by SUNY based on "best book" listings.

Besides being able to search these collections separately, you can also access them, along with descriptions of our printed books, via the Ritz Online Catalog.

New for ENG 102 and above!

The newly redesigned Twayne's Authors Online is a great place to start if you are looking for criticism and interpretaion of the literary works of major writers. Over 600 U.S., British and world authors are represented, and there's even a special section on short stories. Includes Twane's Masterworks, collections of essays on such works as Catcher in the Rye, Cry the Beloved Country & A Doll's House.
