Library

The K.W.G. Memorial Library on the Manchester campus is pleased to offer access to over 50,000 electronic books, enhancing our existing offerings of electronic resources; print materials; videos; and DVDs. The new electronic resource, called NetLibrary, is the second electronic-book resource made available to the Hesser community over the last year. Last fall, K.W.G. started a subscription to ABC-CLIO, online reference books with a social issue focus.

NetLibrary is part of a package of online library services that Kaplan Higher Education subscribes to through the library at the University of Alabama – Huntsville (UAH). (Look for more news about UAH services as each one is fully integrated with the other resources from K.W.G. Memorial Library Services.)

What is an Electronic Book any way?

Electronic books (known as “E-Books”) are entire books you can access on the Internet. You can also print excerpts or individual pages. Some books are print books that have been scanned and turned into a digital file. Others are created as digital files, and can be printed or saved more or less the same way a Web page would be. As an Internet-based resource, the electronic books can be accessed anywhere, anytime.

So What Can You Do on NetLibrary?

Once you sign in, you can:

  • Search for books by subject, title, or author
  • Use your account to save your favorite titles – they’ll be there when you sign in again
  • Search by keyword in the book itself
  • Create and save notes for yourself
  • Browse the Table of Contents
  • Look up words in an online dictionary

Students at the Concord, Nashua, Portsmouth, and Salem campuses have full privileges to the College's main campus library resources. At each campus, students can utilize computer linked access to the library's intranet web page to search its online catalog.
