R2 - New Digital Collection

Himmelfarb Library is exploring acquiring more books electronically with the addition of the R2 Library.  R2 permits the Library to purchase individual copies of electronic texts and build a collection to meet the specific needs of GWUMC faculty, students, and staff. 

Through R2, you can access the full-text of more than 100 books.  Access to R2 is available from both on- and off-campus, and users can link directly to a specific title or book chapter.  Himmelfarb Library will monitor R2 usage to determine if additional 'copies' of these electronic books are needed.

The R2 collection is linked from the E-Texts webpage and selected titles are also listed on the E-Texts page.  You can locate all of the R2 titles by searching the Library Catalog, just as you would with print books.
