Ebook Central

The Library has access to a collection of eBooks on the Ebook Central platform.

See below for a list of eBooks owned by the Library. By selecting the Ebook Central link you can access the available titles, read online or follow the on-screen instructions and download items to your desktop or device via the free program Adobe Digital Editions, or other Adobe DRM compatible ebook reader.

Ebook Central also contains titles not available through the RACGP Library collection. Members can browse non-owned titles for up to five minutes in any twenty-four hours. After that, the system will request a purchase for a short-term loan (1, 7 or 14 days) which will be sent to library staff for approval. As the library will incur a variable cost with each short-term loan, borrowers may be offered other formats, (hard copy or other titles) as suggestions. Members can 'borrow' up to two short-term loans at any one time. Members can also suggest titles for purchase.

To download, print sections, add bookmarks or save titles to your bookshelf you will need to use your Ebook Central account, which is automatically created by the Open Athens authentication system when you log in through the RACGP website.

EBSCOhost eBooks collection

The establishment of this ebook collection was made possible by a generous bequest left to the RACGP’s Queensland Faculty by Dr Walter Monz MB BS (Hons), a Foundation member of the RACGP (1958), and Faculty Board member until 1986, who died in January 2003.

Dr Monz was computer literate and keenly aware of the potential for education via this rapidly developing technology, so it is fitting that his bequest was used to broaden the range of electronic resources available to members via the RACGP Library. The ebook collection was launched on 1 May, 2004 at the 47th Gold Coast Clinical Update weekend with a further 50 EBSCOhost ebooks added to the collection.

Access the ebooks by clicking on the EBSCOhost ebook button – if you have an ESBCOhost account other functions are available to you such being able to create your own folder to store notes and download books. If you don’t have an account follow the ‘Create one now’ link and follow the instructions.

Hints and tips for access

The Springer Medicine eBook Collection will give you access to a huge volume of content across many subject areas including a large number of Open Access titles as well as the specific titles in the eBook collection. To help you access this content, here is some information to guide you:

  • The link below takes you to down to the chapter level but to go to the whole ebook level you’ll need to select the “book” option from the left “Content type” navigation.
  • The default view includes “preview only” content which is not part of our access so you’ll need to tick the box to exclude this content from your results.
  • You can apply further filters such as discipline / sub discipline / language.
  • You can also narrow by start and end year, and sort display by newest or oldest first.
  • An advanced search option can be selected from the cog symbol to the right of the simple search box.
