E books from NetLibrary

 

Kwantlen Polytechnic University Library has access to a collection of business-related electronic books (eBooks) via NetLibrary. Our collection includes over 800 eBooks on business management, finance, advertising, marketing, globalization, as well as an extensive list of eBooks in the public domain featuring classic works of literature and history. They can be read online from any computer connected to the Internet. Access is restricted to Kwantlen students, staff and Library users.

You are able to access the titles directly from the catalogue or from our NetLibrary connect page. If you are accessing the collection on campus, you will not need to log in. If you are accessing it from off campus, you will be required to login with your 9-digit student number/employee number.
