Library eBooks:

These ebooks are also within Primo but listed at title level only.  If you want to flick through an ebook (like a print book) e.g. check out the index, contents or chapter headings to see if a book is going to be useful or not, try searching inside the ebooks using their own websites.  You can view online, save/print chapters and sometimes download books for limited periods:
