eBooks

eBooks are electronic books giving full text access to academic content. They are available 24/7 via the library website. They are accessible on and off-campus. Among the advantages of eBooks is the ability to search within text, copy and paste, and include full references. You can also make notes in the text as you read. You’ll find that the options can vary from book to book depending on the publisher.

The Library has access to over 550,000 eBooks. When reading electronic resources off-campus, you will be prompted for your university login.

Inter-Library Loans (ILLs)

The Inter-Library Loan Service (ILL Service) provides access to material required for research that is not held in the libraries at Maynooth University and St Patrick's College, Maynooth. The ILL Service endeavours to source this material from other libraries worldwide. If you have searched LibrarySearch* and we do not have a book, journal article or other material you require for your research, we can apply to another library for the item. *For journal/article requests also remember to check Electronic Journals.

The ILL Service also supplies material from our library stock to other libraries worldwide.

If you have any questions or comments relating to the Inter-Library Loan service, contact: Bernadette Gardiner Tel: +353 1 7083901.
