E-Books
In accordance with the current copyright law and the licensing agreements between the University Library and its contractors, downloading or printing of e-books in whole or in large parts is strictly prohibited.
- E-book portal of the Ruhr-University
The portal is under construction and will be augmented.
E-books are listed in RUBopac as well though catalogue entries are lagging behind the e-book portal in some cases. Catalogue entries contain a link allowing you to directly access the e-book. If you want to exclusively search for online books go to tab "Limit search" and choose "E-Media – Online". E-books based on DFG-funded national licenses (not in RUB-OPAC)
These e-book collections (in total approx. 370,000 books) can be searched for individual titles via a special search engine.
For descriptions of the e-book packages please refer to information provided by the database info system (DBIS).
E-books and e-book packages incorporated into licensed databases
Numerous e-books are part of text collections or e-book packages or have been incorporated into aggregator databases. In principle there should be individual entries for these books in RUBopac, but we have not yet been able to put this into practice for all of the e-book collections.
