Ebook Access and Usage

This guide provides information about accessing and using library ebooks.

Basic Usage Considerations

If you experience difficulty accessing an ebook, the following are a few general things to try. The other tabs to the left provide additional information as well as specific tips and strategies for getting the most out of your ebook experience.

  1. Wait a few minutes and try again. For some resources we have a limited number of simultaneous users. When the maximum number of users are logged in, you could be denied access.
  2. Try a different browser (e.g., Firefox, Chrome, Edge) and/or computer. ProQuest, for example, does NOT recommend the use of Safari for any of their ebooks.
  3. Try reloading the page.
  4. Ensure your version of iOS (Mac) or Windows (PC) is up-to-date.
  5. Ensure your browser is up-to-date and that it is configured to accept cookies.
  6. Be aware that ebooks are NOT lendable for interlibrary loan (ILL) nor requestable via EZBorrow.
