ScienceDirect is the platform for books and journals from Elseiver, a leading science and technology publisher.

The Libraries obtain access to ScienceDirect e-books in several ways:

• through perpetual purchase of individual titles.  Look for the note "MAIN Purchased Title" in OneSearch.
• through a "Try before you buy" EBA program for the following areas and years:
  • Agricultural, Biological, and Food Sciences , 2020-2023
  • Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, 2020-2023
  • Biomedical Engineering, 2020-2023
  • Environmental Science, 2020-2023
  • Finance, 2020
  • Forensics and Security, 2020
  • Material Science, 2020-2023

How long may I check a book out to read offline?
