What are digital resources?
Digital resources (also called online resources or digital media) are materials that you can access and use online.
The ECU Library provides access to a range of digital resources. These resources are things such as:
- Textbooks and ebooks used for teaching, reference, and supplementary reading,
- Academic journal articles used for research and assignment tasks,
- Research databases
- LinkedIn Learning, Informit EduTV, and other educational video streaming services.
These are available for students, staff, and researchers while studying or working at ECU.
