How do I use Taylor and Francis ebooks?
Answer
Taylor and Francis (T&F) ebook collection offers ebooks in a variety of disciplines, including computer science, humanities, and arts. You can either find the books in the Library Search or go directly to the Taylor and Francis ebook collection (via the A-Z Databases list). Once on the T&F site, you can browse the books by subject or search by keyword.
Limit search to titles available in the SAE Library
SAE Library’s subscription does not include every ebook available on the T&F platform. When searching, filter the results by ticking the box "Content I have access to". You can either select "Licensed content" only (books we subscribe to or purchased) or include open-access titles.
How do I use the T&F ebooks?
All T&F ebooks available through the SAE Library are Digital Rights Management Free (DRM-free), meaning there are no restrictions for accessing, downloading, copying, or printing, and there are no limits on how many people can view the ebook at the same time.
