The checkout period for an e-book is 24 hours. A download to your device constitutes a "checkout". The restriction ensures all students who need the book for an assignment have access.
We don't recommend downloading e-books. Why?
- The process for downloading e-books requires an account with each e-book provider, downloading the appropriate e-book reader for that provider, and creating an account with Adobe.
- It's more efficient to download a chapter or chapters.
- Our e-books are designed for online research.
- You can search for keywords within the content using the Search Within feature of the Viewer.
- The default view includes an expandable Table of Contents, relevancy ranked search terms by chapter, and a navigation toolbar in the content pane
- If you like to print pages before reading, you can by creating a PDF.
- You can copy the whole page or copy text within a page
