CityUHK Library provides access to over two million e-books for CityUHK students and staff. The majority of e-books titles can be accessed both on and off campus, and many e-books can be downloaded to a personal device for offline reading.

You may refer to the Selected E-book Collections by Department/Subject for e-books in related science subjects.

If a book you need from CityUHK Library is not available because it is checked out or not held by the Library, you can use HKALL to request an available copy from another UGC library. The book will be sent to CityUHK Library for you to collect.

After a search in the Books, Media & Articles+ search scope, click on your desired title from the result list to go to the full record page. Select the Get It option and click on Search this title in HKALL. You will be directed to the title(s) in the HKALL scope.

Alternatively, you may try to find your desired title directly in the HKALL search scope by either of the following ways:

• From CityUHK LibraryFind: Select the HKALL scope and conduct a search.
  

• From Library homepage: Select the HKALL tab and conduct your search.
  

Click on your desired title, if available, from the result list. Select the option Get it. If there is an available copy in other libraries, click on HKALL – Resource Sharing. Please note that you need to sign in to see request options and to place requests.
