Do you know how many Health Sciences ebook collections are available through the Health Sciences Library (HSL)? There are 15! Some are available just to the Academic Health Center and others are available to the entire university.
eBook Collections – Features:
Most of these collections provide the opportunity to search across the entire collection or browse for a specific subject or title. Collections vary in what they include in addition to ebooks. Some include multimedia, cases, self-assessment, drug monographs, calculators and patient education while others also include journals and guidelines. Most include the option to create a personal account that provides the ability to print or email and often more. One collection, ClinicalKey requires a personal account in order to access the PDF full text of an ebook.
Over the next few weeks these ebook collections will be introduced more fully. In the meantime, feel free to explore the collections below.
