Electronic Book Packages

The Berkeley Lab (LBNL) Library has a large and growing array of e-book collections available.  These can be accessed through the OskiCat/Melvyl library catalogs.  We also have access to non-scientific e-books that are not indicated here.  (The OskiCat/Melvyl catalogs are for both UCB and LBNL book, e-book, and journal collections.  UCB has subscriptions to e-book collections that LBNL does not.  Unfortunately, the catalogs do not indicate whether LBNL has a subscription to a specific e-book or not, and for those we don”t, you will not be able to download the e-book/chapter and/or may be asked for a username/password.  The e-book/chapter will not be available from LBNL.)
