E-books at NYUAD
Welcome to the E-books research guide! This guide is intended as an introduction and access point to E-books in the NYUAD collection. If you have questions, please visit the Ask a Librarian page, IM us in the box below, or stop by the Information Desk.
Understanding & Accessing E-books
E-books are electronic versions of books. The e-books available in NYU's collection do not require e-book readers and can be viewed on any computer. There are several different ways to locate and access e-books in the NYUAD Library or Bobst Library collection.
1. Conduct a search in BobCat as you would for any other type of item. To limit your results to e-books only, you can select Electronic Books under Genre. You can also limit your results by Availablity -- Online Resources and Resources Type -- Books.
Please note that not all e-books are cataloged in BobCat therefore it is advantageous to also search individual e-book collections according to subject area.
