EBSCO eBooks, not to be confused with EBSCO articles, is a collection of over 400,000 e-books. Unlike Ebook Central and Bloomsbury, which are focused solely on architecture and design, EBSCO eBooks offers books on a wide variety of subjects, from general humanities, sciences, and social sciences to the arts and architecture. This is a great place to look for research on non-design related topics (ex. for learning about health disorders or diseases as you design a healthcare facility).
