How do I find e-books?  

We regret that the Library does not own or loan e-book readers, such as the Kindle.

The Google Book Search is a project that will eventually scan millions of books from the collections of major research libraries.

Google Book Search provides full-text of out of copyright books (generally, books published before 1930) and "snippets" of books in copyright. You can limit your search to full-text only or search the complete collection.

Search Lens

The easiest way to locate e-books available to the University of Chicago Library is using Lens.  Lens provides access to the Library's subscription e-books, as well as e-books available from Google Book Search and the Hathi Trust.  If a book is available online, a link or icon will appear in the record.  Please note that our subscription e-books may require you to log in with your CNetID.

Below are interdisciplinary collections of e-books.  While you may search these collections independently, please note that the Library may not subscribe to all of the e-books within these collections.
