The Libby app provides access to ebooks and audiobooks with a focus on leisure reading. Content includes contemporary fiction and non-fiction works, as well a range of Duke Classics, and a collection of titles on equality, diversity and inclusion.
Libby also provides access to thousands of e-magazines, including the London Review of Books, the New Yorker, Architectural Digest, Wired, Harper's, Grazia... The collection also includes magazines in several non-English languages.
Search for Libby (by Overdrive) in either Apple Store or Google Play and download it to your phone or tablet. Alternatively, you can use the app on a laptop or desktop via the Libby website
- Search for University of St Andrews in the 'Search for a Library' option
- Login using your regular University sign on.
- Browse the collection or click the magnifying glass and search for a specific title.
- You can borrow up to 3 items at a time. Once borrowed these will appear on your Shelf so you can easily see which items are on loan to you
- If the book you want to access isn't available then place a hold
- You can also access a wide range of magazines
If you’re a member of another library which is also signed up to Libby, you can add multiple Library cards to increase the amount of content you can access. You can read or listen on your desktop, phone, tablet, or other e-reader.
