After a successful trial of a new e-book search during the last weeks, Consortium Luxembourg is today releasing a new e-book search, giving visibility to the 80.000 e-books on findit.lu.

We are still working on further integration of e-books into findit.lu, alongside databases and e-journals. That’s why the current release is “beta”.

Simply click on the “ebooks”-tab which you will find at the top of findit.lu and check it out!

For a long time you only could search for e-books by using the “e-books” QuickSet on our main page. It could take some time to get back results and it was impossible to get an overview of all e-books available. This update gives you a new way to search for more than 80.000 current scientific and scholarly e-books by title, author, ISBN or publisher. Provided that the cover of the book is available, it will also be displayed in your search results.
The number of e-books will increase dramatically as we will be adding older, public domain books, including novels, which have been digitised by libraries around the world.

Please find a detailed tutorial for using the e-book search here.

If you have any questions or would like to provide us with feedback, please feel free to post your comments on this blog. We look forward to hearing from you!
