E-Books at UNCG's University Libraries encompass all books that are available in digital format. You don't need a Kindle, Nook, i-Pad or smart phone to read our e-books. They can be accessed on your laptop or desktop computer. Some of our e-books can be downloaded to your computer, and some enable you to email yourself chapters for future reading. While some of our e-books allow just one reader at a time, others can be accessed simultaneously by multiple users. This guide will show you how to find the hundreds of thousands of e-books at the University Libraries and give you tips on their use.
