Overview
UD Libraries provides all students, faculty and staff with access to hundreds of thousands of electronic books (e-books) across nearly all subject areas. All titles are provided to any UD user free of charge, and the vast majority can be downloaded as PDFs, while others can be viewed within a browser or on a personal reading device. These e-books are in addition to the 400,000+ print books that we provide.
