Clear your browser cache and restart browser. Instructions below on how to do this:

e-Books in DIT Library

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.

When using e-Books, PLEASE remember copyright law also applies to the e-Books.

A wide range of textbooks are available as e-Books and you can access these as outlined above, here is a sample of what's available for courses offered in Aungier Street. When you are in the library browsing the stacks, you can easily identify titles we have as e-Books by way of shelf place holders - see example below.
