Books

Books and eBooks

Use Library Search to locate print and electronic books in the UniSQ Library. Search for a specific title or author/s, or use keywords to find books on an area of law or legal topic. Refine the results using the left-hand filters, such as:

  • Resource Type > Books
  • Publication date
  • Key Word.

You can also filter results to online books (eBooks) or physical/print items. The Library purchases eBook format where possible. When selecting books to use, consider currency, jurisdiction or place of publication, and publisher/author reputation. For help with using Library Search, see our tutorial.

Did you know we offer a home delivery postage service for print book loans within Australia? We can also scan up to 10% or one chapter from print books for you. See our request webpage for more information.
