Clicking on a title will lead to one of six e-book platforms.
Cambridge Core, the proprietary e-book platform of Cambridge University Press;
eBook Collection (EBSCOhost), another e-book platform licensed by our library;
The Internet Archive (open access), a respected non-profit digital library. Sign up for an account to check out most e-books for either 1-hour or 14 days;
HeinOnline, a legal database licensed by the library. It includes some full-text e-books;
Literature Online, one of the library's most important literary databases that includes access to some full-text e-books; and
Oxford Scholarship Online, the proprietary e-book platform of Oxford University Press.

Have you found or been recommended a book that would be useful for your research? If so, search the library's discovery service to see if we hold (own) it. Chances are that if we do it will be available only as a printed book. In such cases, take advantage of our curbside pickup or document delivery services depending on whether you need the whole book (curbside) or just a chapter (document delivery).
Use Interlibrary Loan (or ILL) to request any article or book chapter that the library cannot immediately make available online. Whole books generally cannot be acquired through ILL during the pandemic.
WorldCat is a union catalog of millions of records for books held by thousands of libraries. Search WorldCat to find even more books about your topic.
