For your convenience, every year - DIT Aungier Street library sets aside money to buy e-Books that support the courses offered in Aungier Street. The e-Book collection can be accessed both within the library and remotely, even in the comfort of your home! The best way to identify what e-Books we have is to do an Advanced Keyword search, SEE HERE.
