For instance the ebook does not offer highlight functionality unless faculty and students sign in. You can create and save notes by logging into your  EBSCOhost folder. 

The publisher permissions vary between 60-100 pages and 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 multiple patrons can take up to 60 pages at any time and they refresh once the eBook is closed.  So if you need another section or chapter, you can grab an additional 60 pages that same day or another time. 
You can also email chapters to yourself one at a time.
