eBooks in the Library Catalogue
You will find our complete selection of eBooks in the TUM Online Catalogue OPAC.
Titles available as eBooks carry the eBook symbol.
eBook Packages
In addition, you can find many of our eBook packages on the Database Information System (DBIS). These have their own interface which allow advanced search and browsing that may be helpful in your research, especially with subject collections.
Please note that we do not always subscribe to the entire publishing suite of a provider, but often only selected relevant titles. There is no charge at all for eBooks we subscribe to as long as you access full text within the TUM network or via eAccess.
e-Readers
To explore and use our large eBook collection it is not necessary to have an e-reader. Just use your PC or laptop.
If you use electronic books, be sure to note the following license conditions:
- You can use full texts of eBooks on the user PCs in TUM branch libraries. As a TUM member (student or staff), you can also use full-text anywhere via eAccess.
- Full texts may be printed or saved only for personal use and for non-commercial purposes (science, research and teaching).
- The disclosure to third parties is not permitted either in electronic or in printed form.
- Systematic downloading of eBooks or search results, especially by robots, is prohibited.
Failure to comply with license restrictions will be tracked by the publishers and may result in the complete suspension of the campus license for the entire TUM!
