Using E-books

Searching for an E-Book using the library catalogue

Did you know that the library has access to over 350 E-books which you can access from a PC at any time day or night.
You can use E-books anywhere from home or at college and all of our E-books are linked from the library catalogue and should present in a catalogue search.
To search for E-books, go to advanced search on the catalogue:

 Go to the drop down box for media type on the right hand side, select E-book and then type in what you are looking for

Results will be as shown below, click on the title of whatever you are interested in:

Then click on the Read Me link in the e-book record to access the e-book.

The e-book will give you the option to read the book online or download the book to your computer, please note that, if you download, it may only be on your computer for a limited time and then it will disappear.

If you download the book then you may be redirected to a page where you have to sign in with your username and password, this is just so that the system can recognise you as a PRC student. Use your computer login and password.

If you have any problems accessing or downloading E-books, please do not hesitate to contact a member of staff.
