Using books

                                                                

The Library has print books and e-books. Generally, an e-book contains the same information as a print book.

Books are very useful for background reading and theory. Many also contain snippets of programming code that will be useful for your assignments.

Need a book that's not in the Library? You might be able to read most of it online using Google Books. Or you could make an online interlibrary loan request and we'll borrow it from another library for you.

If you find a book you think might be useful for your whole class and you think we should buy it then let us know! Email the details to acquisitions@dkit.ie.
