Most eBooks can be found in EBSCO eBook collection and can be checked out. Check-out periods vary from book to book, from one day to one week.
To check out eBooks, first you need to create an EBSCO account (it's free). While inside the EBSCO eBook database, click the 'Sign In' button on the top of the screen and then select Create a new Account. Once you are signed in to your account you can check out individual books by clicking on the Download (Offline) button in a book's item record. Select the checkout length you want and then click Checkout & Download. You will then be given the option to open the book or save it to your computer to open later. Reading checked-out eBooks outside the EBSCO database requires installation of the free software Adobe Digital Editions.
