Evidence-Based Teaching

Guides to support your use of eBooks

The eBooks guide provides support for using the eBooks the Library makes available on many platforms.

Finding eBooks

• To find eBooks in the Library Catalogue, limit your search to Online Books

• To get started with using an eBook, open the catalogue record and then select> Connect to ebook (login with your University of Melbourne password)

Borrowing from the University of Melbourne physical collections.

• If you live in Melbourne you can visit the campus and borrow from the University of Melbourne Library.  You will need to ask your Graduate Online Support Consultant to organise a borrowing card for you. We are unable to mail out books.

CAVAL

• A CAVAL card will allow you to browse the collections and borrow from other universities within Victoria. Ask your Graduate Online Support Consultant to organise a borrowing card for you.

ULANZ

• Live interstate? Find copies of books held in Australian libraries using TROVE. Use the ULANZ borrowing scheme to borrow in person from any other participating Australian and New Zealand University libraries. Check the institutional requirements for borrowing and contact your Graduate Online Support Consultant if you need assistance with meeting the identification requirements.

eBook Recommendations

• You can recommend the library purchases a book. Specify an eBook copy and we will purchase it in this format, if it is available.
