Downloading the eBook

We have access to 3 types of eBook content:

  • Full access (we have licensed this resource)
  • Open access
  • Free access (this content is available freely, although potentially temporarily)

Any e-book that is available for full text download through the library will have one of these indicators in the book description. Please note that even if we have licensed the e-book, a price for the print copy will display. This can be disregarded.
