UNCSA Library holds over 450,000 eBooks from a variety of publishers and platforms. These can be found by searching in our catalog, and identified by scoping the search by "book" under "resource type" and selecting books that appears with "available online."
Ebooks come with a variety of licenses. These can be 1-user, 3-user or unlimited use. For the purpose of class texts, we want to use eBooks that are unlimited, and that come with DRM-free (less restrictive copyright for download and use). Academic eBooks can be different for students who may be used to consumer eBooks, but typically come with sets of tools for study, examination, download and citations.
- TIP: Talk to your librarian about what kinds of licenses are available on each eBook- UNCSA Library typically only licenses unlimited eBooks, or can license multiple 3-user licenses to cover classes.
UNCSA Library has large collections of eBooks available from such publishers as Oxford University Press, Routledge, Wiley and many university presses.
