Early English Books Online (eebo)

Connect to: Early English Books Online (EEBO)
Producer:	ProQuest
Description:	EEBO provides digital access to over 125,000+ literary and historical classics. All works are in full image format, meaning that images accurately reflect the way the works appeared in their original printed editions. Besides literary and historical works, the database also includes musical exercises, prayer books, pamphlets, proclamations, almanacs, calendars, and many other primary resources. Funding was made possible by a gift from William Buice, Class of 1961.
Usage Tips:	When complete, EEBO will contain all the works in the microfilm series Early English Books I & II, combining the Short-Title Catalog (Pollard & Redgrave, 1475-1640), the Short-Title Catalog II (Wing, 1641-1700), the Thomason Tracts, a compendium of broadsides on the English Civil War printed between 1640 and 1661; and the Early English Books Tract Supplements. There are no links to individual EEBO titles in Annie, our online catalog. Searching EEBO is searchable by Keyword, Author, or Title; and can be browsed by Subject. You may also construct Boolean searches, limit a search by source library, language, or collection, review search histories, and combine previous sets results. Viewing Results Initial results include brief bibliographic citation. After receiving them, you can view more detailed records, mark specific documents for printing or downloading, and sort results alphabetically, by relevance, or by date. The digitized images of original pages can be enlarged by the zoom function. Printing When you have the text or image on your screen, do the following: Change the "View as" box to "PDF". You need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. Type the letter "G" to open up the Graphics Select Tool. Your curser will turn into a tool that can select a specific part of the text or image. Left-click your mouse and drag your mouse to outline the part of the text or image that you want to print. Click the Print button. BEFORE you say OK, make sure the box to "Expand small pages to paper size" is checked. This will enlarge the text so that it fits the page, and will be easier to read. You should now see a print preview in which the captured text or image fits the page. Then click OK.
