e-books

You can search the library catalogue to find links to a wide range of e-books and free online reports. Alternatively RCN members have access to collections of e-books from EBSCOhost and MyiLibrary. Going directly to the e-book sites allows you to search for keywords in the full-text of all the RCN e-book collection.

E-books are for RCN members only, and you will need to enter your membership number and surname to read the full text online.

If you want to limit your search to e-books and e-reports only, go to the RCN library catalogue then:

  • select the down arrow next to the library box
  • select eLibrary
  • type author, title or subject into the search box
  • search catalogue
  • follow the link to the full text.

For help download a step by step guide to using the the RCN e-books (PDF 244KB) [see how to access PDF files] is available on the Learning Zone.
