E-books
Search for e-books
As with all material available in the University Library's collection, you can search for e-books in the Primo discovery service. In Primo, you can limit your search to "Books" or "Book Chapter" and select "Full Text" to focus your search on e-books. You can also search for e-books directly on the providers' platforms.
Read e-books on your computer
Most of the University Library's e-books can be read online or downloaded to your computer. Depending on the platform, you may need either Thorium Reader, Ebook Central Reader, or Adobe Digital Editions. For platforms that use Adobe Digital Editions, an Adobe ID is required to download and read e-books.
If you are using one of the University's desktop computers on campus, these applications can be found in the Start menu or via the Company Portal (Windows 11). When using Ebook Central Reader for the first time, enter the numeric code displayed during the download process. Where Adobe Digital Editions is required, you will need to sign in with your Adobe ID.
Read e-books on mobile phones and tablets
It is possible to read most e-books on mobiles and tablets. Apps for it are available free of charge through the App Store and Google Play. Recommended apps are Adobe Digital Editions and Bluefire Reader. These apps need to be authorized with your Adobe ID.
