Ebook Central titles are available to all current UWA staff and students through OneSearch. If accessing from off campus you will be prompted to sign in using your Uni ID.
A title's availability as an ebook is indicated by Available Online in the item details in OneSearch. Access the ebook by:
- Selecting the Ebook Central link in the Full text availability section in the book’s OneSearch record. The ebook summary will open on Ebook Central in a new tab.
- Select the Read Online button. This will open the ebook.
- After the ebook has been open for a short time, you may be prompted to check out the book to continue reading it online.
- You will be returned to the book and can continue reading online.
If you choose to download the book to your device the loan time may vary. Most titles are available for 1 or 7 day loans; many titles are available for 1 to 365 days. For more information about ebooks at UWA visit the Ebooks guide.
