Many of these electronic books are part of packages or individual subscriptions that the University Library subscribes to, and require netid login/password when using them on a non-UIUC Campus computer.  Some electronic books are freely available.  Management of electronic books is still a work in progress and locating titles may require a search in more than one place. Many of the individual e-book titles are findable via the Online Library Catalog or the Online Research Resources (ORR) database.  Some titles can only be reached through a link to the package itself. In this guide when this is the case a link from the title to the package is given.  Once there the individual title can be located.  See the "Home"tab for more information.
