In addition to e-journals, the University of Florida Libraries are providing access to a rapidly increasing number of e-books, many in Spanish or on topics related to Latin America and the Caribbean. In most cases these can be viewed on a computer screen, and require no special devices or software.
To locate e-books search the UF catalog, and e-versions of books will appear in the results list when available. Limiting a search to "online resources" can eliminates most print books in the results list.
While on campus or while connected to the UF Proxy Server, users can also search ebook provider's websites directly.

For example, it now includes nearly 500 titles from LOM Ediciones and RIL Editores in Santiago de Chile, 100 titles from the Editorial Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia, and so on.
