Borrowing from the library

eBooks

eBooks are books in digital format that can be read on a computer, tablet or mobile device and give full-text access to academic material.

They are available 24/7 via the library website and are accessible on and off-campus.

Most of the eBooks available through MIC library are from a platform called eBook Central.

There are two options available on this platform:

  • read the book online (there is more functionality with this option)
  • download on a 1 day or 2 day loan (you will need to have the Adobe Digitial Editions software downloaded on to your device in order to do this). Ebooks that are downloaded will automatically disappear from your device once the due date has expired.

Features:

  • Save books to your bookshelf
  • Share the link to the ebook
  • Get a citation for the book
  • Make notes (Please note that this option is only possible by selecting the 'Read Online' option)

Finding a book

Use the Catalogue to search for books or the SEARCH ALL tab on the library home page.

When you search, note the following:

  • Location: Is the book in Limerick or Thurles? In some cases we have the same book in both campuses so make sure to check
  • Shelfmark/Call Number: This is the Dewey number followed by three letters to help you find the book on the shelf
  • Status: Is the book available on the shelf or is it on loan? Remember if a book is on loan, you can reserve it using your MIC log-in details.
