E-books

Novia University of Applied Sciences provides you with some collections of english e-books : Ebook central and Ebscohost ebook collection.

The english books are searchable throuch Alma-Novia . Access to the english books with your Novia password.

We have a Swedish e-book-package Biblio. This package also contains some e-books in other languages as well as audiobooks, mainly fiction. These books are however not searchable in Alma, you have to search within the resource Biblio (elib). Some books you may be able to read online, some you need to borrow. Either way you must have a library card at Åbo Academy University Library and a personal pin-code (set the 4-number pin-code in ALMA).

In Kauppakamaritieto ammattikirjasto you find mainly Finnish e-books in areas as economics, business administration, leadership and marketing. Use the link to find the books, since these books are not searchable through Alma-Novia.
