Help for Library users of ebook platforms available at the State Library

This 'Ebooks' scope includes over 200,000 ebooks from ProQuest, EBSCOhost Ebook and Academic Collections, Berg Fashion Library, Gale and National Edeposi (NED).
You can also search and then apply a filter to your results. Filters are shown to the right of your search results. Choose 'Ebooks' under SLV Collection (you may need to click 'show more' first). Other filtering options include subject, date and author.
Ebooks in your search results will show Availability: "Access online" and include an Available online link.
To view an ebook, first select the title or Available online link from your search results, then click on View ebook found below the title details.
