Searching e-books via the library search box

E-books can be found through Library search(external link) and can be accessed 24 hours a day seven days a week.  

E-books can be read entirely online, or downloaded to your PC or mobile device for a period of time. Most e-books enable you to search across the entire contents of the book.  Once downloaded, an e-book can be viewed on your other devices. Simply link to the e-book through library search and login in with your ID and library PIN.

VU Library e-books have been purchased from a number of different companies so there is some difference between how e-books are borrowed, downloaded, printed, read off-line and transferred between devices.

Library e-books can often be borrowed and downloaded for a short period of time. Texts are usually read online only. Small sections can be printed due to copyright.

Here are some of the publishers who provide access to e-books through the VU Library. Each publisher has different ways of accessing their e-books and different loan periods. http://libraryguides.vu.edu.au/ebooksguide
