Read e-books

You can read Ebsco's e-books online or download them in PDF or epub format.

Reserving borrowed books

Most books can be read by several people at the same time. Some titles may be limited to 1-3 simultaneous users. If a book is being read by another person, you can queue for it. You then receive an e-mail when the book becomes available.

Create your own account/bookshelf

You need a personal account with Ebscohost to be able to download books, make notes and save lists.

You will find a detailed guide on downloading to computer from Ebsco here.

Notes

You can make bookmarks, crossings out and notes in the downloaded book. Notes are saved and you can see them the next time you log in to Ebsco.

Printing, copying and e-mailing pages

You can copy, e-mail and print a certain number of pages; usually this is 60 pages but it varies depending on publisher. The number of pages that can be printed is shown for the respective title under the heading "Publisher Permissions".
