The library has prioritised the acquisition of e-books and electronic resources during the Covid-19 pandemic with a myriad of titles now available via Library Search<\/a>. The number of individual e-books purchased in 2020\/21 was 4,640 and the number of e-books in collections purchased in 2020\/21 was 383,771. In total, the number of e-books purchased in 2020\/21 stands at 388,411.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E-book collections from Cambridge University Press<\/a>, De Gruyter<\/a>, and IGI Global<\/a> are all accessible via Library Search<\/a> where you can casually browse specific subject areas to see what is available. However, by being more specific and using author, title, and\/or ISBN details within these collections you will be able to quickly navigate to the e-books that you need for your research and study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of SAgE specific electronic collections are available. These include Packt Publishing<\/a>, which offers a range of computing and IT related resources on cloud, data, programming, and web development, and the Royal Society of Chemistry e-book collection<\/a> where you can download PDF chapters, or read online, from key chemistry and chemistry related texts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also substantial access to a range of SpringerLink<\/a> electronic publications covering a variety of SAgE disciplines. This includes valuable 2021 collections specific to biomedical and life sciences<\/a>, computer science<\/a>, earth and environmental science<\/a>, engineering<\/a>, and intelligent technologies and robotics<\/a>. Furthermore, e-books from the SpringerLink Lecture Notes Series covering mathematics, statistics, and physics, can be found and filtered using Library Search<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
