Every semester the UNO Library works with the bookstore and LOUIS (our statewide academic library consortium) to make available e-book versions of titles that students would otherwise have to purchase themselves. Using a list of titles assigned in courses provided by the bookstore, staff at LOUIS identify e-books already owned by the Library as well as titles that can be purchased as an e-book for unlimited student use. The library attempts to acquire as many of these titles as possible, usually with dedicated funding for this purpose provided through LOUIS/Louisiana Board of Regents.
