Library eBooks
SIUE Library and Information Services provides a rapidly growing collection of eBooks covering all subjects. Sometimes that variety and pace of change can make things a little complicated. If you're wondering how to get books on your eReader, where you can go to find eBooks, or if you can use our eBooks offline, you're in the right place.
Questions
Where can I find the library's eBooks?
There are several ways to find ebooks. Check out the Finding eBooks section of this guide
Can I get the library's eBooks on my Kindle/Nook/iPad?
The answer to this is "Maybe." Different eReaders and eBook providers use different file formats. For more help with your device see eReaders.
Why can't I access one of the library's eBooks?
Some of our eBooks limit the number of people who can use them at any time (similar to checking out a paper book). Books in ebrary, for example, can only be read by one person at a time. See more in our section on Using eBooks.
Do I have to be online to read an eBook?
In some cases, yes. Some publishers, like Springer, offer ebooks and chapters on a PDF that you can download just like a journal article. Some, like EBL and ebrary, provide offline access with Adobe Digital Editions. Others may require you to read online. See the Downloading eBooks section to find out which services let you read offline.
