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 an 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, you can find e-books through the UMass Amherst Libraries Catalog. Searching the catalog without limits will locate both print and electronic books, and records for e-books will include links to the online versions.

To limit catalog searches to e-books only, conduct an Advanced Search in the UMass Amherst Libraries Catalog by author, title, subject, or keyword search, choosing the Format "E-books" under Limits.
