Summary

This is the end of this section of our guide, on CIT Library eBooks. We hope it was useful for you.

The main points covered in this section were:

  1. eBooks (or e-books) are books that are read on a computer or other electronic device.
  2. eBooks have become very popular in recent years with a proliferation of affordable readers and titles becoming available.
  3. Many libraries now make eBooks available to their clients and CIT Libraries have procured over 70,000 titles from the ebrary Academic Complete collection and DawsonERA providers.
  4. eBooks have many benefits in an academic library context, the main advantage being that they are available at all times and from anywhere - with a device and internet access. eBooks allow users to:
    • read the full text,
    • make notes,
    • copy and print
    • download
  5. Lecturers can make direct links to specific eBooks (or collections of ebooks) in CIT Libraries' collections through Blackboard or by other means - ensuring quick and full access to the titles they recommend for their students.
  6. eBooks can provide CIT staff and students with a great resource to support them in their academic research and learning.
