Ebook Central titles are available through OneSearch to all current UWA staff and students. If accessing from off campus you will be prompted to sign in using the UWA SSO.

A title's availability as an ebook is indicated by Available Online in the item details. Access the ebook by:

  • Selecting the Ebook Central link in the Full text availability section in the book’s OneSearch record. The ebook will open 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 to read the book online.
  • You will be returned to the book and can continue reading the book online.
If you choose to download the book to your device most titles are available for 1 or 7 day loans; many titles are available for 1 to 365 days. More information about ebooks at UWA is available in our ebook guide.
