How to access ebooks

Library Search displays records for all books and ebooks so it is a great place to begin your search. You can refine your search to display ebooks only, by using the filters on the left side of the Library Search results page. When you find a book you wish to read you can either click on the title or the 'Available Online' link to be taken to the book record. You will see a section called 'View Online' which will provide one or more links to read the ebook. Clicking on a link will take you to the ebook suppliers' platform where you will be able to view or download the ebook.

Watch our video below for a demonstration or visit our FAQ page 'How do I access and read ebooks?'.
