This guide will be removed after the summer holidays in 2025. Since we purchase hundreds of eBooks each month, it's difficult to keep the content up to date, also usage has been quite low. If there's any part of this guide that you would like us to keep, and perhaps expand on, email me at frida.rosengren@science.lu.se.
To find reference books on your subject, use LUBsearch and try the following search (select "Advanced search" to get the different rows):
textbook OR reference OR handbook OR encyclopedia OR encyclopaedia OR principles OR guide OR manual OR companion OR introduction OR overview OR fundamentals OR basics |
AND |
your subject of interest |
After you have performed the search, filter the results on Material Type eBooks (and Books if you are also interested in physical books). If you get too many irrelevant results, try selecting field "TI Title" for both rows. You can also filter on publication date to focus on newer eBooks.
This libguide aims at highlighting some of the electronically available reference works, i.e. e-dictionaries, e-encyclopedias and e-handbooks within biology that we have access to at Lund University.
