E-books

The LRC has a large collection of e-books searchable via Search+ (the LRC's discovery tool for searching across online databases, e-books and e-journals).

To search for an e-book, select ‘Publications’ on the Search+ home page and then enter the book’s title, author's name, subject, or ISBN in the 'Library Publications' search box.

If you would like to develop more advanced skills in using Search+, arrange a training session with the Printworks Campus LRC Librarian.
