Did you know that Swem Library offers more than one million e-books? These books are accessible to all current William & Mary students, staff and faculty.
All of our e-books are listed in the library catalog, and anyone who has a W&M User ID can access them from anywhere – on campus and off! Community patrons can access e-books on-site at Swem.
Faculty members can put e-books on reserve for courses, and can include links to the Swem Library catalog in Blackboard or other course sites. Faculty may want to contact the Acquisitions Department (lib-acq@lists.wm.edu | 757-221-1561) to ensure that the book is available for multi-user access. If it is not, an upgrade from single-user books can be made upon request from faculty.
For more information about Swem’s e-books, check out our e-book library guide with FAQs, a visual guide to searching for e-books in the catalog, details on how to download an e-book and more.
