Due to the difficult situation this year with Covid-19 the University and the University Library have provided extra funding to support online learning. We have been fortunate to receive support from this funding for many of the key Economics Textbooks. Most of the core titles used across the Tripos and the MPhil courses are being provided by two companies: Kortext and Bibliu.
Kortext
To access these etextbooks simply search for titles on iDiscover in the usual way. You can refine your search by 'ebooks'
Click on Online access below the record and you will be taken to the relevant providers site, in this case Kortext
If you click through to the details of a record it will show you which provider is providing the ebook . It also tells you it is part of a temporary pilot collection for 2020-21
When you have clicked on Online Access you will be taken to Kortext.
You need to choose University of Cambridge from a list - or type it into the box. You will then be taken to the usual Raven login page to access the book
Then you will be asked to create a personal password for the Kortext site to access their textbooks for you:
Once you have logged in you will immediately be accessing the book you want to read online and Kortext will ask you to take a tour - so you can learn about the functionality available...
You can search the book, go to the contents page to find a chapter at a time, take notes, create bookmarks, create references to download using Endnote or Refworks, and print (up to 10%). All these functions are available on the side menu
