Finding and using books and theses

Ebooks

The easiest way to find an ebook if you know the title is to search for it from the Ebooks page.

You can also search across collections of ebooks. For more help, see How do I search for ebooks and How do I use ebooks.

If you are not sure what an ebook is, see Understanding ebooks.

Theses

Many theses are also now online. The best way to find a thesis is to search EThOS.

For further information about EThOS and other theses services, see the Theses and dissertations page.

If it’s not available online

Not all books or theses are online yet. If you have not been able to find what you need, and are based in the UK, you may be able to get hold of printed books or theses via another university library. For more information, see Libraries near you.

Other sources of print books, including sources of OU set books, are given on the Books page.
