E-books in EBSCO are typically only available for one patron to view at a time. Sometimes we do offer titles for three simultaneous users.
To access e-books in EBSCO:
1. Select EBSCO.
2. Type in your search term (for example: curriculum)
3. Click Go.
4. Narrow results. Like in SpringerLink, you can narrow your results using the facets on the left. In EBSCO, you can limit your results by Subject.
5. If you don't see a Subject of interest, click on Show More.
6. To access a book, click on the title. You can then click on either the PDF or ePub full text to browse online. Or, you can download. Look where it says concurrent user level to see how many simultaneous users the books can support.
