Millions of free e-books now available
The Internet Archive has suspended its waitlist and opened up its catalog to students and the public during this time of emergency. The Internet Archive, which has approximately 1.4 million books in its collection, hopes to fill a gap in the services offered by companies such as Hoopla and Overdrive, to which Lincoln Public Library patrons already have access. After you set up an account with Internet Archive, all their materials will be at your disposal. The archive will be available until June 30 or until this crisis passes.
Many academic presses are also making selected books and journals freely available for the next couple of months. You may access them through the Project MUSE website.
