A guide to library resources for students studying in the Lincoln School of Creative Arts

How can I search for ebooks?

As well as searching on the Library website, you can also search for ebooks on our ebook databases - these have been separated into 2 sections:-

  1. Humanities-specific ebook databases, which include more coverage of the creative arts subject area
  2. General ebook databases - these are multi-disciplinary but still contain many ebooks which may be relevant to you

Important Note: When you search for information via the main library search box, you are searching across multiple databases, including ebook databases.  

Top Tip: In most instances, it makes sense to search for ebooks using the main library search box - see 'Find out more about accessing and using ebooks' for tips on how to find ebooks.

However, if you find that the number of results is overwhelming, or not relevant, you may find it easier to search individual ebook databases, like those listed below.
