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:

ChemTexts - a textbook journal of chemistry



Introducing a hybrid peer-reviewed textbook/journal, ChemTexts. It was conceived in response to the long publishing time current academic textbooks take to get to market, as well as the inability to add new and updated information to them quickly. ChemTexts will be free for 2015-2016.

Some of the first "lectures" in this textbook journal include:



Crossing the bridge between thermodynamics and electrochemistry. From the potential of the cell reaction to the electrode potential


First-order differential equations in chemistry
