If the e-book you are using has a limited number of copies available, Ebsco will tell you how many copies are in use under eBook Availability.  If all copies are in use, you will have to try again later to access the e-book.

Please keep in mind that since you are using an e-book with a limited number of copies, it is recommended that you download the chapters, save them to your computer, and close out the e-book so the next person can use it. Please do not read it online. 

To download an entire e-book, you need to create an Ebscohost account and have Adobe Digital Editions downloaded on your computer. 

Step 1 - Getting Started

• If you haven't already logged in, you will be prompted to create/sign in to your Ebscohost account.
