To find eBooks available through AU Libraries, begin your search on GIL-Find. Follow these instructions to search for and access an eBook. Once you get to the eBook page (which often has a content provider name at top left, like ProQuest Ebook Central), look for an option to read the book online or download the book (these buttons are usually located near the cover art for the book).

Most content providers provide options to download the eBook, or portions of the eBook, although there may be some exceptions. For example, eBooks through O’Reilly Online Learning can only be downloaded on the mobile app (for laptop and desktop users, content from O’Reilly must be read online).

If you are looking for “fun” eBooks to read, you may want to consider getting a public library card and borrowing eBooks through the Libby mobile app.
