An Ebook is an academic book, like those in your course reading lists, which is available in an electronic format. You can read it online using an e-reader, in a browser, or with other reading software on your PC.
Ebooks are fully searchable and easy to access. Usage limitations apply, such as download loan periods and copying amounts, which are set by the publisher.
For more information on how to search for and use ebooks, see our Collections page and MetSearch guide.

Once connected to Eduroam, you will automatically connect at Cardiff Met and other institutions that use Eduroam, which is most universities in the UK and many overseas.
Academic journals are aimed at an academic audience and are where you will find the most up to date research in your area. Most Cardiff Met’s journals are only available electronically, either through MetSearch, or you can look for individual titles in the Journal Search or BrowZine.
