What are EBSCO eBooks?

EBSCO eBooks are online versions of print books that your library has either purchased or has a subscription to access. EBooks  available via subscription are renewed annually for the library to retain access. EBSCO eBooks are available from all major academic publishers in virtually all academic disciplines.

EBSCO eBooks offer a number of advantages over their print counterparts.  Users can:

• Download titles to mobile devices, including iPhones, iPads, Kindle Fires, and Android Devices
• Search within a book for specific words or phrases
• Save, print, or email chapters or sections
• Copy and paste portions of text for easy access during the research process
• Link to books or book chapters for easy reference or social sharing
• Save a list of favorite books to a virtual book shelf
• Generate or export citations to bibliographic management tools
• Save notes to a personal folder with a My EBSCOhost account
• Navigate between sections or chapters and the index via linking
• Place holds on titles with limited simultaneous user licenses (though many titles are available for unlimited access)

If you’re interested in making a request for the purchase of a specific eBook for the library collection, contact the library.
