E-books
In the library catalogue you will also find a large part of our e-book collection, including much compulsery literature. You can find these e-books just like the 'paper' books by searching for example (words from the) title, ISBN, subject or author.
Once you've found an e-book title, click the link to the e-book. You can open this link on your own laptop, PC or telephone via the library catalogue, not on the catalogue PC in the library.
Many e-books have an unlimited number of users, but other e-books can only be opened by, for example, one or three users at a time.
If you have questions about, for example, borrowing (downloading) or reserving e-books, see the FAQ with frequently asked questions about e-books.
To get an overview of databases that contain many e-books, you can filter on 'information type' in the A-Z database overview on the library website, so in this case on 'e-books'. You will then get a list with links to the databases that offer many e-books.
You can also use the E-Publication Finder to find the full text of the e-books.
The E-Publication Finder provides an overview of and access to thousands of e-journals (journals, newspapers, magazines, etc.) and e-books available through the our digital library.
In addition to the e-books that can be found in the library catalogue, you will also find many e-books in various collections from different suppliers and publishers.
