What are they?
eBooks are online versions of books. We have ebooks covering many of our popular topics. You can find them by searching Library Search and filtering the results for online content. The book entry will then give you a link to use to access the ebook.

How can they help you?
eBooks are especially helpful when popular print books are all out on loan. You can access the same text online and you don’t have to worry about returning the book on time. You can also use the interface to search through the text to find the information you need. You may be able to add your own notes to sections of the books.

How do you access them?
ebooks can be found on the catalogue Library Search. You will need your Keele computer login details to log on and access the full-text.
