Access limitations and holding types
'Holding type' indicates the access level of each digital textbook. Access to library etextbooks can be limited and you may experience a ‘turnaway’ from 'U' holding types. If this occurs try the link again in 5-10 minutes. The library monitors each turnaway and will purchase additional digital textbook copies as needed within one working day.
ACAP Library aims to provide access to textbooks in digital format whenever possible subject to availability and publisher limitations.
Below is a list of available digital textbooks for units by discipline. Each title links directly to an ebook version of the textbook. The list is in alphabetical order by title. You can search by unit code in each discipline by using the 'find' function in your web browser.
Ebook Central allow users to download and print chapters to PDF. Print limitations reset every 24 hours
