As nice as eBooks are, they are not perfect. Restrictions exist. Copyright and Digital Rights Management (DRM) limits how they can be accessed and downloaded. The eBook LibGuide will take you through the process of viewing eBooks here at Trevecca. It will also highlight the restrictions you likely encounter and the best way to manage these problems.
