Example 4: Is there a way to find the newest computer books or business books on NetLibrary?

From the front page of NetLibrary, click on the red ‘Advanced Search’ tab at the top of the screen.

Type the topic you are interested in into the white subject box. If you are looking for computer books, type ‘computer’ in the subject box. To find titles that were published in a certain year, find the ‘Limit’ area at the bottom of the screen and type that year into the box. To sort the titles by newest first, select that option from the pull-down ‘Sort’ menu. Then click on the red Search box.

This gives you a search result page with the newest computer titles listed first.

You can replicate this search with business books, or whatever subject you are looking for.

You can choose to view the eBooks, show details or add them to your list. Some of the eBooks allow you to save information to a disc or email information to yourself or someone else, as well as print from the screen.
