Once you have located a book, click on its title to proceed.

When you click on a book's title, it opens the book's page. Each book's page may look slightly different, depending upon how that book is structured. However, each page should display the book title at the top and a menu beneath. Options for this menu vary.

There will be a Contents or Headings option that will list hyperlinked entries or chapters within the book.
