You can find links to e-books in MetCat Finna, or you can browse the various e-book services. You can access e-books on campus, as well as remotely with Metropolia user ID (you will be directed to the Metropolia login page).
The terms of use, licenses, loan periods and required reading applications vary between different e-book services.
Some e-book services require you to register and create a separate user account for using all functionalities of their e-book platform (printing, downloading, making reservations etc.).
Instructions for different e-book services can be found in this guide.
Most e-books can be read online in a browser, which requires no separate e-book reader.

E-resources (e-books, e-journals, databases, etc.) licensed by Metropolia library can only be used for non-commercial educational purposes (studying, teaching, research).
E-resources have their own terms of use which can be found via the Databases and e-resources A-Z list by clicking the copyright icon ©. When you use e-resources, you are responsible for complying with their terms of use. For example, files, copies or printouts may not be distributed to others.
You can submit a book proposal using the e-form below. Although a book can be purchased in electronic format by individuals it may not be available for organisations (libraries). Thus, as a library we might not be able to purchase all required books as e-books.
For e-resource related issues/questions, please contact the library: kirjasto@metropolia.fi.
