UE Library is the main provider of knowledge resources for students and faculty at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences. Following an e-preferred strategy, we provide access to electronic resources such as e-books and e-journals through a diverse range of databases.
UE Library offers its e-books via the portal Ebook Central (EBC). All metadata are in our catalogue, the actual access however takes place via EBC. In order to access EBC, you will need a separate registration using your institutional e-mail address. Should you not be able to be on campus, UE Library will create an account for you.
