E-böcker

Hur hittar jag e-böcker?

De flesta e-böcker hittas via din egen högskolas Finnavy. En specifik e-bok hittas genom en sökning på bokens titel och länken finns i bokens detaljerade uppgifter. 

Du kan söka e-böcker med beskrivande sökord och avgränsa sökresultatet till e-böcker. Via Finna hittar du även länkar till olika e-bokstjänster. 

Även om största delen av e-böckerna hittas vid en sökning i Finna så är merparten av den svenska söktjänstens Biblios e-böcker inte sökbara direkt utan man vänder sig till söktjänsten för att söka.

Mera information om e-böcker hittar du i denna videoguide.

Hur läser jag e-böcker?

E-böckerna används på olika sätt beroende på databas och titel. De vanligaste alternativen är:

  • Läsa i webbläsaren: e-boken öppnas och läses direkt i webbläsaren. Läsningen förutsätter nätuppkoppling.
  • Läsprogram: e-boken laddas ner till speciella läsprogram i vilka boken kan läsas offlinte, utan nätuppkoppling. För bibliotekets e-bokstjänster är det vanligaste läsprogrammet Adobe Digital Editions. Ladda ner programmet till din dator innan du laddar ner e-boken. Mera detaljerad information hittas här. För att kunna ladda ner e-boken ska du ofta också skapa ett konto i den e-bokstjänst som e-boken finns.
  • Mobilapplikation: för mobila enheter kan e-bokstjänsterna ha en egen app med vilken e-boken kan öppnas. I din mobila enhets appbutik hittar du olika appar för e-boksläsning.
