Printing/Copying

Some titles may not allow for printing due to individual publisher-specified limits.

The number of pages may vary depending on individual publisher-specified limits.

Reading/Downloading

To download a book, you must first create a My EbscoHost personal account

Most can be downloaded to your computer or device for 1- 5 days at a time

The downloaded file will expire after you have reached the selected download period, but you can download again

Ensure you have the correct software (normally either Adobe Digital Editions or Bluefire Reader) on your computer or device. 

Placing a Hold on an E-Book

If the eBook you require is being used by another user, you can place a hold on the title.

Sign into your personal My EBSCOhost account and click Place Hold to be notified when that eBook is available for you to download. The eBook is placed in the Holds area of your My EBSCOhost Folder.

When the eBook is available, you are notified via the e-mail address associated with your account and the eBook appears in the Checkouts area of your folder.
