How do I checkout or read eBooks from the CIIS Library?
Answer
The CIIS Library acquires eBooks from various vendors with various rules, but we have some tips:
- Always check to see what the "Availability" or "Access" to the eBook is. Some of our eBooks may only have 1-3 copies which means that only that amount of people can be reading the book at that time. When this is case we strongly recommend reading the book online rather than downloading it/checking it out.
- Note: We have a default set so there is always at least 1 copy available to read online. When there is only 1 copy available you will not be able to download the book.
- Check to see how many pages can be saved as a PDF which doesn't require you to "check out" the book. The amount of pages can vary to a few, to up to the entire book.
