Security and Crime Science

Books and E-books

UCL Explore, the library catalogue, is the principal tool to find books, journals and other materials (either in print or in electronic format) held in UCL libraries. 

E-books can be accessed through Explore on any device, from anywhere and at any time. 

How can you tell if a book is available online?

On UCL Explore, you can look at the results of your search to quickly discover if a book is available in print or/and online: View Online means that the book is available electronically, while Available means that the book is available in print. In some cases a book is available both in print and online.
