UCBooks - Institutional Resource Search

We provide academic libraries a platform that enables affiliates to trade books and access library content. Due to the myriad of avenues at the university, it becomes tough for affiliates to find the resources they need. With this application, students can connect with each other or with the university library to find the study resources they need or books they would like to trade. Easy to Use Use your phone to scan the isbn barcode to find a book. Borrow Library Resources Affiliates may check availability, locate and reserve full-text library resources. On & Off-Campus Access to Online Library Material You can directly read available library ebooks, monographs or journals and save holding information for future access. Native Reader for Select Online Resources We also provide a reader for affiliates to directly access select online resources. One may save reading location and even interact with a resource by chapter. Simple to Track If you search for a book that you seek, you won’t need to keep checking the app constantly. You will be notified as soon as a student posts it. Frictionless Communication Students can choose to communicate with each other via the privacy friendly in-app messaging service. Academic Centered Service access is limited to institutional affiliates via valid institutional identity numbers. Our Patrons This service is made available by the support of the University of Amsterdam Library, the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences Library, and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Library.
