dc.description	This document outlines practical ways to locate and download free scholarly e-books, focusing on four sources: Booksee.org, National Academies Press, IntechOpen, and the Open Textbook Library. It demonstrates keyword searching on Booksee.org, notes a per-search cap of 100 titles, and warns that large PDFs may download slowly. It explains browsing and searching on the National Academies Press site, where users can read online or download PDFs after free registration or as guests, with examples from Environment and Life Sciences categories. It shows that IntechOpen returns thousands of results for environmental queries and lists items by paper, author, and book type. It highlights the Open Textbook Library’s peer-reviewed, openly licensed textbooks and subject browsing, illustrated by a forestry textbook example.	en
