Accessing E-books<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Your AFBI Library membership gives you access to many E-books.\u00a0 These can be accessed via the library catalogue<\/a>, either by searching for a specific title, or by doing a more general search and then refining the results to display only relevant AFBI e-books:<\/p>\n

To search for a specific title:<\/strong> enter the exact title into the search box and click search library catalogue<\/em>, the result will appear with an online access link underneath:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To search for e-books on a particular topic:<\/strong> enter the keywords of your search into the search box and click search library catalogue<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This will generate a Results screen.
\nIn the panel on the left, refine the results selecting the Source Type \u2018e-books\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIf you wish, you can then refine further by subject area:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These refinements will limit the results to titles based on your keyword search.<\/p>\n

To access a title, click the live link for Online Access<\/em> or Full text<\/em> and enter your AFBI username and password when prompted.\u00a0 This will take you to the full text, via a PDFdownload or via a publisher platform from where you can explore and read the book. The type of access provided varies depending on the publisher and e-book platform.<\/p>\n

For openly accessible e-books<\/strong> relevant to AFBI research areas, see also DOAB<\/a> (Directory of Open Access Books) and National Academies Press Free eBooks<\/a>. These sites can be easily browsed by subject area.<\/p>\n
