Faculty and researchers: We want to hear from you! We are launching a survey to learn more about your library collection needs for teaching, learning, and research. If you would like to participate, please complete the survey by May 17, 2024. Thank you for your participation!
There are two main platforms that host the ebooks in UML library, Proquest and Ebsco. Their landing pages look very differently.
Although sometimes it is possible to download an entire book depending on limits set by publishers, it may not be the best option for reading the book. Access to full downloads can be limited in duration, and a book no longer be accessible after a set number of days.
Downloading pages or chapter to PDF and using them in that form can be a better option. The PDF's can be highlighted and notated, and you have the option of printing them out.
Some books will allow a limited number of pages to be downloaded. However, this limit resets after 24 hours, so you can go in to the book again and download whatever the maximum allowance as often as you want.
The publisher permissions for download vary: some titles allow unlimited pages, some limit to between between 60-100 pages. This allows the patron to take up to that page limit with no log-in or software requirement. For EBSCO eBooks, the publisher permissions are set up by session so that patrons can take up to 60 pages per session. The page allowance refreshes once the ebook is closed. So if you need another section or chapter, you can download an additional 60 pages that same day or another time.
