Ebooks

The Main Library has secured a trial subscription to Ebrary’s Academic Complete, a growing eBook collection that spans all academic subject areas.

The Ebrary site is easy to navigate. You can do a simple or advanced search by key word, author, title or publisher; create a Personal Bookshelf to save highlights, notes, and bookmarks; copy and print with automatic citations with hyperlink back to the source, among many useful features.

Other ebook titles are available via the NetLibrary collection. You may search an index of NetLibrary titles with links to publicly accessible ebooks, or you may limit your search to the Main Library Titles only. Please go to Ebooks. The Main Library's NetLibrary ebooks are also listed in the Library's catalogue.

Electronic Journals

The Library has implemented SFX to manage access to its electronic journals. This includes journals that the  library subscribes to in electronic format, journals in databases, as well as free electronic journals.

Journals can be located by title, subject, vendor or collection. You can also browse titles by using the A-Z listing.

If you are accessing from off campus you will be asked to log-on.

For staff this takes the format CH_STAFF\username or CAVEHILL\username and password
