eJournals and eBooks
eJournals and eBooks are an important and growing portion of the WashU Libraries Collection. Because eJournals and eBooks are more easily updated than traditional print materials, they often express the most current iterations of data or academic thought.
Discover eJournals & eBooks
To determine whether the Libraries provide access to a particular eJournal or eBook, researchers can search the WashU Libraries’ eJournals and eBooks by article title, identifier (ISSN/ISBN), eJournals or eBook title, or by subject. See the Off-Campus Access Guide for details on accessing our eJournals and eBooks from off-campus.
eBook Access with OverDrive’s Libby
The Libraries provide access to eBook and audiobook titles through the Overdrive Collection and the associated Libby application.
Download the Libby application to your preferred device or open Libby in a browser to start using the collection. Select “Sign in with my card” on Libby and choose Washington University in St. Louis as your library. This will trigger a prompt to authenticate with your WUSTL Key. The linked card will appear as our MOBIUS consortium.
If you have trouble accessing the collection, please do not hesitate to use the Ask Us chat for help. If you already use Libby with your local public library, you can add WashU as an additional library card to expand your choices.
