Library Services eUCLid online catalogue
Some ebooks have individual entries on the library catalogue, so you can browse
or search by author, title or keyword. For example, to view a list of all
the NetLibrary titles held, select Publisher as the field to search and enter
'NetLibrary'.
However, not all e-books have individual catalogue entries. For instance, with
the package Literature online, you would need to search for titles within the
site itself. To view the packages held by the library click on the links below
