Accessing E-Books
Use your Rowan NetID to access ebook content. The library is transitioning away from direct linking to ebooks. Links to ebook from Rowan-Virtua SOM Library guides will gradually be updated to go to their Library Search record, and from the record you can access the content of the ebook.
Use Library Search to search for other ebooks and medical print books held by Rowan's two medical libraries.
