ePlatform
Trinity College Library are excited to provide access to an exciting collection of eBooks and audiobooks via Wheelers ePlatform.
eBooks are a very convenient way to ensure you always have something to read, even during semester breaks. You don't have to come into the library to access them, they are available to borrow 24/7 wherever you have internet access. When you borrow an eBook you can download it to your device so you don't even need internet access to read. You can read eBooks on your laptop, via the browser or download to Adobe Digital Editions; or on a phone or tablet, there are apps for iOS, Android and Windows 10 available.
Audiobooks are a fantastic alternative to printed or eBooks - the beauty of audiobooks is that you can listen when your eyes are busy on other things - on a long drive, working out, doing chores around the house or resting! Read by actors or skilled narrators, audiobooks capture the essence, humour and action of a story. Some are even read by the author, adding authenticity and emotional connection.
If you can't access YouTube, you can view this video on Clickview. You will need to sign in with your Trinity email address and password.
