Ebrary e-books have moved to new Ebook Central platform

The UFV Library's collection of subscription and purchased e-books from ebrary and EBL have been merged onto a new Ebook Central platform from Proquest. This platform offers many advanced features for users, including the ability to save to a bookshelf, annotate, bookmark, read online, download or search within full text.

For more user information, see the Proquest Ebook Central LibGuide.
All titles are listed in the UFV Library Catalogue, but you can also directly search this collection of over 150,000 e-books.

All persistent links and URL's from the catalogue will redirect for five years. In addition, users with existing ebrary accounts have the option upon sign in to bring forward their ebrary bookshelf and merge it into the Ebook Central bookshelf.
