The UT Southwestern Health Sciences Digital Library & Learning Center is now providing access for our users to five new ebook collections:

You can also search the Library Catalog for title, author, publication date, or subject.  A direct link on the catalog page will take users directly to publisher eBooks platforms.

Important tip about ebook platforms : Ebook platforms are as varied as the evening sunset: some are awesome, while others are average; some offer mobile accessibility, while others don’t; and some permit downloading and printing of chapters in PDF, while others only allow online viewing as a web page. No two platforms are alike; however, most provide the option to create a personal account for ease of use and to facilitate searching.
