E-books

It is not possible to read all e-books online in the web browser. Instead, you'll need to download them to your computer. For instance, you can download Ebsco's, ProQuest's and Ellibs' e-books and read them using a reading application. If you wish to read an e-book offline, you must download it to the reader. Ebsco and Ellibs also offer mobile apps for reading e-books.

Each e-book service has its own loan periods for e-books. Titles you have borrowed from the service will automatically be returned at the end of their lending periods. We recommend you to return the e-book early if you don't need it any more. Then it will be available for other patrons.
