  • When using ebooks for course readings, it's important to consider the number of users the ebook allows.
    • Some ebooks only allow for 1-3 users at a time.The limited user access ebooks do not usually work for an entire class as there is not enough access available for everyone to read the material.
    • Instead, choose ebooks with unlimited access so that all students can view the ebook at the same time.
    • On some of the ebook platforms, like O'Reilly, all of the ebooks are unlimited use.
  • Contact your librarian to request library ebook purchases (not textbooks) and to find out more about whether ebook access will work for your class. 
  • For more questions about using ebooks, see our ebook guide.
