Books

netLibrary is a collection of full-text electronic books that library users can search and read over the Internet. Academic, reference, and scholarly books are included. Users can search across the entire eBook collection for authors, titles, or keywords, and they can search within books for keywords and phrases.

These materials are shared by people all over the state of Texas. For some titles, there may only be one copy, but for others there are several copies. Though it is not necessary for Austin College students, faculty or staff to set up their own personal account, this is an option discussed on the netLibrary website. It may also speed up your connection to the material.
