ODU Libraries provide a growing number of ebooks for our users. In general, when a book order is made, we will purchase the electronic edition (if available) rather than print.
FAST FACTS:
Not all books are available for us to purchase in ebook format.
Our ebooks are restricted to registered ODU faculty, staff, and students. Users will be prompted to authenticate using their Midas credentials.
Ebooks are provided by a variety of vendors and publishers, so they do not all look the same, and features can vary. There may be limitations on how much you can print or download.
Sometimes our access to an ebook will change. Be sure to check at the beginning of every semester if you are planning to use an ebook for a class.
Most library ebook collections are presented in formats that are intended for viewing in a browser on a computer (as opposed to downloading to an ebook reader).
