Where can I find my textbooks?

Alternatively, you can access an eBook version from Library Search or your subject Resource List. Some eBook titles have limits on the number of students that can access each title at any given time so if you If you receive a message that all copies are in use, please try again later.

Your Lecturer may also have asked the library to make part of your textbook available as a digital reading on your Resource List which you can access from your iLearn site.
