  • These database platforms contain eBooks: 
  • Ebook platforms and collections
    • UofT Libraries has licenses with various eBook Vendors. This link takes you to a list of the platforms / collections, but they don't have great search options so it's better to use if you know the book's title and the publisher. 
    • Sometimes you will find books that we have access to but they haven't been listed yet in the library collections.
