E-Books at JHU

An e-book, also known as an electronic book or digital book, is a book that exists in electronic form, whether it started as a print book or not.

JHU has access to about 1 million e-books, and almost all are in the libraries' catalog.

You can read JHU's e-books on many devices, including

  • computers
  • laptops
  • tablets
  • e-readers
  • smart phones
