A list of the most relevant e-textbooks for medicine can be found on our “Medical e-textbooks” page (in Norwegian only), but do check the collections in our two learning platforms Clinical Key Student (250 titles) and MedOne Education (100 titles) for an overview of our e-texbooks from the publishers Elsevier and Thieme. You can also search for books and e-books in Oria.
