Morgan Discovery Library Catalog

Books, eBooks, journals, articles, videos and much more can be found in our library catalog, Morgan.

  • To get started, go to Morgan, https://lpts.on.worldcat.org/discovery and simply enter keywords, author names or titles in the search box.

  • To filter for eBooks only, simply select "ebook" from the filter options on the left side.

  • Be aware that access to eBooks and articles off-campus will require LPTS Outlook log in credentials (what is used for LPTS email and Canvas). Remote access is only available to current LPTS students, faculty and staff. Alums may access an abbreviated ATLA database, ATLAS for Alums - see Access for Alums

  • It is possible to filter for publication year, author, subject and much more. Additional filters also appear on the left hand side of the Result List.

More about accessing eBooks:

Use Morgan Discovery (library catalog) to access the entire collection of eBooks available.
Use a specific eBook package (listed below) to search for books in distinct disciplines or vendors.

Please note:

  • For broad eBook searches Morgan Discovery (library catalog) is recommended rather than an eBook package! Why? EBook Searches in Morgan allow you to access subscribed or open access titles available in ALL databases at once! LPTS EBooks are purchased in many different platforms, and this is the only way to quickly find them in one search!

  • When accessing eBooks off campus, patrons will be asked to sign in using their LPTS Outlook ID and password (what is used for LPTS email and Canvas). Note: only current LPTS students, faculty and staff can access purchased eBooks off-campus. The "Sign In" link at the top right of the Morgan catalog screen allows you to access your Morgan account (this is used to see what you have checked out, etc.) NOT for access to eBook content.

  • Request an book to be pulled to be held for pickup.
  • Save your searches,book lists and more. Don't recreate your searches over and over again. Save your search and your eBook/online journal/article links in one place!
  • Keep track of what books you have checked out.

Note: Don't confuse this account and sign-in link for Remote Resource Access (getting to full-text eBooks and articles)

How to set up a Morgan Account:

  • Go to Morgan at https://lpts.on.worldcat.org
  • Click on  "Sign In," located at the top left corner of the screen
  • Click on "Set/Reset Password"
  • You next will be prompted to put in your username -- for most, this will be the first initial of your first name followed by your last name.
  • The system will send a message to the email address associated with your account with a link that will enable you to create a password [as this is an autogenerated email, it may go to your junk mail so check there if you do not see anything in your inbox.] 
  • If you need to verify your Morgan username or email address, contact us and we can provide that information.

Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) enables staff the ability to request materials from other libraries. This includes both physical items like books or articles from journals we do not own. ILL requests are placed through the OCLC-ILL system and can take 1-3 weeks to be filled, depending on the lending library. Article and chapter requests are fulfilled electronically. For materials to be returned to the lending library, the due date and any late fees are determined by that library and are passed on to the patron.

Staff person responsible for area: Bobi Bilz
Email: bbilz@lpts.edu

To request an item via Interlibrary Loan, please fill out the appropriate form below:
