Please contact your subject librarian directly, or complete the purchase request form, to determine if we gain access to e-versions for materials for your research not currently available or currently on Reserve for teaching. We will make a concerted effort to locate an e-version for you. Please note that we will not in some cases be able to purchase a copy, due to restrictions on institutional purchases (e.g., Kindle copies from Amazon).
Here are some of our most popular collections.
You can search DiscoverE for our subscribed content to most of these collections. Where we have temporary expanded access due to the pandemic, records have been uploaded into DiscoverE (with a "temporary" indication). Additional content may be available temporarily via the publisher site and DiscoverE, and is annotated below:
- ProQuest/Ebrary Academic Library Complete Collection
- Routledge Handbooks (multidisciplinary)
- Oxford Bibliographies, Handbooks and Research Encyclopedias
- Credo (Reference works)
- Gale Virtual Reference Library
- Digitalia (Spanish Language Texts)
- Sage Research Methods
- Springer E-Book Collections (Physics and Astronomy, Materials Science and Chemistry, Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, and Computer Science)--check DiscoverE for individual titles. Just added: 2017-2020 content for Mathematics, Psychology and Social and Behavioral Science.
- Safari
- Wiley (Social and Behavioral Sciences, Physical Sciences and Humanities, search DiscoverE for individual titles)
- Cambridge University Press (Frontlist titles, 2017-present, limit to "collections I have access to")

- JSTOR E-Books (2015-2019 university content primarily as well as some backlist content, select "books" in advanced search)
- Project Muse (selected e-books, primarily 2010-2013 university press imprints)
- Note that there are also over 2000 open access titles via Project Muse already. As some of these publishers are also on JSTOR, access may be free in multiple places.
- Elsevier Science Direct Titles (selected frontlst content and Handbook Series)
HathiTrust and Library of Congress
- HathiTrust may be a good temporary solution for items in copyright currently in our Stacks. HathiTrust is expanding fair use access to their corpus to ensure that academic communities can continue teaching and learning with HathiTrust resources if physical access to print collections is compromised during the COVID-19 pandemic. This Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS) provides authenticated, limited access to specific materials in our collection via HathiTrust. Here's how it works:
- Emory University user logs in to HathiTrust.
- Users will be able to read the book online, in the web browser, but will not be able to download the work in full.
- Users will “check out” a copy for a limited period of time and can renew the checkout or return the book.
- For public domain books, typically 1924 and earlier, the user must also log in and can then download the entire book because the book is no longer protected by copyright. This access to public domain books in HathiTrust has not changed.
