Kortext is now your new home for many of your key reading materials. Links in your lessons and access via the Library Portal will direct you seamlessly to the book content.
Kortext allows you to:
- Access thousands of eBooks including many of your key and essential reading titles.
- Read your eBooks on the go with the Kortext App.
- Personalise your reading with a range of accessibility features. You can customise font size, style, background colour and much more.
- Access all of the tools you need for learning – you’ll be able to search, highlight text and make notes, copy and paste text, and print.
Remember, you can search all of the Library eBook collection by using the Library Portal; for more help and to see what has changed you can book onto one of our ‘How to find eBooks in the Library Portal’ workshops.
These sessions will cover how to make the best use of the eBook platforms available through the Library Portal and show you how you can improve your research skills.
We’ll look at:
- What’s new and what’s changing with our eBook platforms
- How to simultaneously search multiple eBook platforms using the Library Portal
- How to navigate and make use of advanced features in some of our eBook platforms
The workshops will run online, last 60 minutes and include time for a Q&A section. They’ll be held on:
