Search e-books in the OPAC

You will find our complete selection of e-books in the TUM Online Catalogue OPAC [1].
Titles available as e-books carry the e-book symbol.

Search in e-book portals

Many e-book providers offer their own portals with advanced search and browsing options. You can find these portals via our database search [2]. However, we usually do not license the entire publishing suite of a provider, but only selected relevant titles.

Please note: In order to access full texts free of charge, you have to authenticate yourself as a TUM member also when you explore e-book portals. You can do this via eAccess [3] or within the TUM-LAN and browser configuration [4].

In addition, many e-book providers have their own interfaces with advanced search and browsing options. You can find portals for e-book packages we have subscripted to via out database search options [2].

Read and download e-books

Depending on the provider, you can read our e-books online, download individual pages or chapters. You do not need an e-book reader. As a TUM member you can simply use your PC, tablet or laptop. External library users can access our e-book collection on library computers in our branch libraries.
