Biomedical Electronic Books Showcase

The Library is increasing it's range of electronic books. Below are listed major titles purchased for Biomedical fields. Electronic books can be found in the library catalogue. Search by keyword for "Electronic Resource" to see all available items including electronic formats such as internet item, CD-ROM and computer disk. Not all electronic resource items in the catalogue have subject headings so they can be difficult to access if you don't know the title you are looking for. Not all electronic book packages are included in the catalogue. Electronic book providers/packages are listed on the Find Databases list in SuperSearch and in selected Database subject sets. The list below does not include titles from the PsycBooks database. Selected books from that database will be added later.

These electronic textbooks are available to University of Melbourne staff and students from any location. Some titles have limits on the number of concurrent users who can be accessing the full text so you may not be able to view them on your first attempt.

Please note that this listing is not intended to be a definitive list of biomedical electronic books available through the University of Melbourne Library. It is highlighting the major suppliers.
