The Bodleian now has a one month trial to the Perlego database, which gives access to 300,000 book titles across a broad range of subjects until the 17th July 2020. You may browse by subject, topic, curated reading list or publisher, or search. A new advanced search filter is now available.

Users can browse the full collection to identify titles of interest without creating an account at www.perlego.com.  However, to access the full-text, users need to create their own Perlego account. To set this up, Go to Databases A-Z:  https://libguides.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/az.php?q=perlego

You will need to click on the link to WebLearn to find the access code and the link to the platform. A registration form will be generated. Use your ox.ac.uk email address and the access code to set up your account. Once this is done, in future, you can go to Perlego at perlego.com and just login in with your email address.

Searching Perlego

Use the simple search, and then filter to search for books only matching on the title, author, the topic, or the keyword. Or use the format filter and choose to read in e-Pub or PDF. You can also browse by subject or topic.
