E-books are accessible on and off campus. To access our e-books search for them on CityLibrary Search and follow the 'full text online' links. Sign in when prompted using your City username and password.
Our e-books vary slightly according to platform. You can navigate through the book using the table of contents, scrolling or selecting a page number.
Downloading e-books
Many of our e-books can be downloaded to your PC, mobile device or e-reader. However, some publishers do not offer this functionality.
If you want to know if a particular publisher will allow downloads take a look at our E-book guide to find out more information about our different providers.
Can I read the e-book on my Kindle?
It depends on the e-book supplier.
If the e-book, or chapter of the e-book are available as a PDF, you can save the PDF and upload it to your Kindle.
