The library service is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Wiley Online Library eBook collection for this academic year. The collection contains over 17,000  eBook titles and the content encompasses a broad range of subjects including the humanities, social sciences and STM subjects (scientific, technical and medical). The collection is  comprised of a variety of newer and older monographs  which we hope will be invaluable to students in their respective disciplines.

Benefits to using ebooks from Wiley:

  • You can read and download Wiley ebook chapters on any device that supports PDF
  • There’s no limit to the number of times you can download an eBook
  • There’s no limit to the number of students who can access the books – 600 students from the same course could download chapters from the same ebook at the same time

This collection has been made available under a model we call “evidence based acquisition”. This means that we pay for access to the whole collection for one year at a fraction of the price it would normally cost to buy this number of books. At the end of the period, the library purchases those books which have been used the most, up to the value of the initial investment. This model ensures that we get great value for money from what we spend and that what we buy at the end of it is what we know, from the usage data, that staff and students are using!
