Books are published in two formats: electronic
(online) and in print.
Electronic books

The UoW Library has electronic books (ebooks) in
a range of subject areas. All UOW students, irrespective
of study location, have access to electronic books from
the University of Wollongong Library.
You can search for electronic books using the UoW
Library catalogue. To find electronic books for an assignment, view demonstration or download the pdf. |
Print books

or assignment you will need to search your local
library catalogue using a keyword search.
