Faculty Guide to Library Resources

Use in the classroom, information you need to know for yourself and students.

About

Using Complete eBooks in the Classroom

Students can read the full text of the title online or download the entire title to a mobile device – iPhones, iPad, Kindle Fire, and Android devices are all supported. Titles downloaded to mobile devices will be available to students as long as the library’s checkout period allows (and then will expire).

If more than one student will need to access or check out the title at one time, check to make sure the license is for unlimited access. If the license for the title is a single or 3-user license, contact your liaison librarian for expanded rights providing rationale; licenses can be changed, 

Using Book Chapters in the Classroom

Students can save PDF chapters or sections of EBSCO or Ebook Central for extended access, printing, or sharing via email.

As a faculty member, you may also save PDF chapters and post them directly in your course syllabus, or you could link to the title or chapter directly (if you’re linking to the title, make sure it has unlimited access and make sure your students know they’ll need to authenticate to view their library resources).
