New gateway to our Library Catalogue!

Starting this fall, we’ve introduced a new gateway to search the UFV Library’s book and video holdings.

The search box on our Books & DVDs page now takes you to a customized version of the Discovery Service.  Results include all the holdings in our UFV Library classic catalogue, as well as 180,000 subscription e-books from EBSCO and selected open access book collections.

The biggest advantage is that search results are much more relevant and known titles are much easier to find.

Fans of the classic catalogue can still access it using the links provided.

For any questions, please contact us.

Downloading E-Books to Android Devices

August 8, 2019 Update

EBSCO ebooks appear to be downloading now to Android devices if using Adobe Digital Editions in place of Bluefire Reader.

July 30, 2019 Original Post

Most of our subscription e-books allow you to download the content onto your own device for 7 days. There have recently been problems downloading onto mobile Android devices.  Bluefire Reader has been pulled from the Google Play store.

Proquest has developed some interim procedures that can be used until a more permanent fix is in place.
This works well with books from Ebook Central.

EBSCO is still working to resolve the problems and have no solution to date. This affects books in their ebook Collection.

Please note: Downloading to computers and IOS devices have not been affected.
