Our catalog may link to ebooks on their original publisher platform, or you may be accessing them through an aggregator like ProQuest or EBSCO. You can see a full list of ebook providers in our collection, but here are some of the most common ebook platforms you may encounter:
When accessing ebooks through an aggregator like EBSCO or ProQuest, if you want to download an entire ebook, you may first have to install free software called Adobe Digital Editions. (ADE can be installed on most computers and smartphones, but if your phone is not compatible, you might try the Bluefire Reader.)
In these cases, downloading the full book counts as a "checking out" the ebook, and the checkout periods for downloadable titles will be between 7 and 21 days. Typically, notes, highlights, and bookmarks made in downloaded titles will not be saved once the download period has expired, so you will want to document those things in your own notes.
