An e-book, short for electronic book, is a book in digital format. Some books are born digital (were never in print previously) and others are digital copies of the print format. E-books have grown steadily in numbers and preference with the advance of gadgets that are used to read the e-book in our increasing digital age.
Searching is available via Saint Search.
Each collection varies in terms of usage, printing and access capabilities. See the collection specific information (tabs above) for further details.
The use of e-books is available off-campus for members of the Siena Community. Once you have located a book in the catalog, click on the appropriate link to get to the e-book platform. Before you land at the platform you will be prompted for your login credentials (the same login used for the computers on-campus). Enter your credentials and you should then pass through to your desired e-book.
The librarians are happy to help answer e-book questions, help set up devices and troubleshoot problems. You are encouraged to fill out this form for an appointment.
