EBSCO eBooks are a great addition to the classroom. They offer sustainable and cost effective access to teaching and learning resources. Here are some things to know about the use of EBSCO eBooks in your courses:

• EBSCO eBooks can be found and read through a title search of your library's EBSCO eBooks database (here) 

OR

• Your instructor may use a Permalink in your BlackBoard courses/sites for direct access. 
• If you see an eBook link in your BlackBoard site, you will need to sign-in with your Library Patron information (barcode/last name) every time you use the link.
• To ensure that everyone has access to the EBSCO eBooks for your class, PLEASE DO NOT click Full Download. Always choose PDF or EPUB. This ensures open access for everyone.  
• Feel free to use these course eBooks and other eBooks to complete assignments. eBooks may be accessed on the internet, but they are still scholarly books. You have the option of downloading EBSCO eBooks that are not used for course textbooks. All downloads are temporary.
