Computer Ebooks

Did you know the Kresge Library has a large computer ebook collection? You can see the full list of titles under our Custom Collection. We have the ability to add titles easily, so if you search the site and see a book you'd like access to, just send the Library an email with the details and we should be able to add it that same day. We have 2 seats, so that means only 2 people can be using the collection at the same time. If you get a "session unavailable" message, just try back later. It's usually not an issue (but may be for a while after this post).

Here are some recent additions to the collection:
