Search for books and eBooks in our library discovery service.
If you know what you're looking for, then use the authors' surname and a word or two from the title: try to choose unique ones. For instance, type in stroud engineering mathematics.
Alternatively, you can search using subject words: try starting with engineering mathematics and use the filter in the left-hand column to narrow down your search.
Remember to be as specific as possible when searching for a topic.

eBooks are books in digital format that can be read using devices such as pcs, tablets, e-Readers and smartphones.
The main advantage of eBooks is their online availability, users are not dependent on the library opening times, you can access an eBook 24/7, provided you are authorised to do so. You can search individual collections by clicking on the collection title from our eBooks page or search all collections using Search + Find.
The availability of eBooks will be dependent on many different characteristics such as host, publisher, licence agreement, library access model. E-formats will vary, there is no service that can provide all eBooks in the same manner, and ATU users will notice this with the library's eBook collection.
The majority of eBooks at ATU may be read online, and some can be downloaded by staff and students, using the usual ATU login credentials. Many of the eBook hosts such as EBSCO and Proquest Ebook Central will allow ATU users to create personal accounts with which you login in order to read online or download an eBook.
We have thousands of books, journal articles and reports in print and online but we don't have access to everything. So, if you find that we don’t hold an item that you need, you can use our Document Supply Service. This service provides access to books and journal articles which are held at other libraries in the Ireland and overseas.
