The Global Library offers a rich and diverse collection of more than 300,000 eBooks aimed at meeting the academic and research needs of our users. Our diverse approach to building our eBook collection includes licensing, direct purchasing, open access curation, and digitization, resulting in a comprehensive resource.
Licensed Bundles
We partner with leading providers like EBSCO and JSTOR to offer comprehensive eBook packages covering a wide range of disciplines. These bundles provide access to thousands of scholarly and professional eBooks.
Individual eBooks
We actively respond to the evolving needs of our community. Based on faculty recommendations and user requests, we purchase individual eBooks from publishers.
Open Access eBooks
We believe in promoting open access to knowledge. Our library team diligently searches and curates high-quality open access eBooks from various publishers and repositories.
Digitization
Our collection is further enriched by digitized books from our rare books digitization program, which provides access to unique historical materials exclusively for authorized JGU users.
eBook Finder
Easily find your desired eBook using our in-house eBook Finder portal, which provides multiple access points for your convenience. The portal is updated regularly, and you can access eBooks from anywhere (on or off-campus).
DRM free
Whenever possible, the library prioritizes purchasing eBooks that are free from Digital Rights Management (DRM) restrictions.
