E-books

NetLibrary

NetLibrary is an online, full-text book service. Although this e-book collection contains many excellent titles and is convenient to use, it is not nearly as extensive as the Library's print holdings. E-books are not yet available on all topics.

Access to NetLibrary from off-campus is available to UMass Amherst students, faculty, staff, and affiliates through their OIT account. Enter your OIT username and password when prompted. First-time users must set up an account. In NetLibrary, select "Create a Free Account," and then provide a username and password.

Type your subject in the "Subject" line, then click "Search." You can also search by the title or author of the book. 

Finding E-books Through the Library Catalog

In addition to searching NetLibrary, find e-books through the Library Catalog by selecting "Online Resources" twice.
