eBooks are books that can be read or downloaded online. It is possible to get many books for free over the internet.

Electronic resources can be read on a computer, but the GSRR also has three eBook readers that you can borrow within the library. Material such as journal articles and classic eBooks can be pre-loaded onto these at your request.

You can also read eBooks and resources on your smartphone, handheld games console, iPad, laptop or PC.

The library has many eBooks for reading online but not all of these come in a format that can be downloaded onto an eReader.
