eBook Resources

We have lots of options if you need access to electronic books to carry out your Literature Review or research for other assignments at Newcastle College...:

MyiLibrary

Digitized versions of our most popular print books at Newcastle College Library are available through MyiLibrary, so if all the paper copies of any book that your tutor is recommending on a Reading List are on loan, check here - we may well have it electronically.

Select "Newcastle College" from the Institutional Access list then log in with your College Username and Password.


Ebrary

There are literally thousands more titles available, on a wide range of subject areas, from ebrary.

The best thing about this package is you can highlight text and add notes as you go along using the tools at the top of the page, and all of these annotations will be saved on your Bookshelf tab forever.

Simply enter your usual College Username and Password if asked to log in.
