What is an eBook?
An eBook, also known as an electronic book, is a new style of book that is viewed on the web. Broadly
speaking, eBooks can be divided into two types: those that are examined and those that are read.
Wiley reference works are available for examining/research. For reading, we have access to theEBSCOhost eBook Collection, Maruzen eBook library, SpringerNature, Elsevier, Wiley, ProQuest
eBook central, the InfoBase site, offers you access to eBooks that have purchased. You can read thecontents on the web as you would read a regular book. Please visit the library homepage athttps://lib.tut.ac.jp/. With a few exceptions, you can also search for available eBooks through OPAC andTUT Link (SFX).
Convenient points of eBooks
Compared to printed books, there is no need to be “on loan” and unavailable for a long period of time.
