Find it Fast! - Workshop 2: e-books

 

The University of Aberdeen Library has access to well over half a million high quality e-books across many different subjects. They are supplied through various providers, over 20 in total, with each provider setting their own rules and restrictions on how much of each e-book may be downloaded and retained. The slides and worksheets below provide an introduction to these resources.  The library guides to the largest of our e-book collections, Ebook Central, are also provided. (Note - until March 2017 Ebook Central was known as ebrary. The search interface and commands changed in the transfer from ebrary to the Ebook Central platform).
