As convenient as eBooks are, they are not perfect and restrictions exist. Copyright and Digital Rights Management (DRM) limits how they can be accessed and downloaded. Click here for the eBook Research Guide to see details like creating an account, printing, or how to check out an eBook title. The guide will take you through the process of viewing eBooks here at Trevecca and highlight restrictions you are likely to encounter and the best way to manage these problems.
Ebook Central provides access to a vast collection of scholarly ebooks, particularly for academic libraries. It offers a wide range of features for both online and offline reading, including downloading, printing, and annotation capabilities.
NEVER download a library eBook for a class assignment unless you see that it has 'UNLIMITED USE'!
If you don't see that information you need to assume the title has LIMITED use. This means once it has been downloaded it is NO LONGER viewable online - prohibiting anyone else in your class from use of the book.
To complete your assignment you can create a PDF for a page range and email that to yourself. Federal copyright law has a limit of 60 pp but some publishers (Baker Books) have a limit of 12 pp at one time. You can log in again to retrieve additional pages. Consider downloading chapter PDFs or books in advance subject to availability for your institution.
