The EBCSO eBooks user guide has detailed information on using the various functions of the platform.

You can download or print pages from an EBSCO eBook without having to download the whole book.

1. Click the "download" icon at the top of the page or in the table of contents.
   
   
    
2. From here, you can select the pages you'd like to save, and click "Download". You now have a PDF to read offline or print.
   
   
    

The publisher-set page limit will determine how many pages you are able to download at one time. Different eBooks will have different limits.

Some eBooks are available for 'digital loan', allowing the full eBook to be downloaded to your device for a period of time. The eBook's detail page indicates if this option is available.

The software Adobe Digital Editions is required to access the full eBook offline. To install: Create an Adobe ID Download and install the appropriate Adobe Digital Editions for your device Authorise the software with your Adobe ID

Now you can download your EBSCO eBook through the "Full eBook" tab in the Download pop-up. 
 

The eBook will be saved to your "Checkouts" page in EBSCO, and also in Adobe Digital Editions.

Once the downloaded eBook is opened in Adobe Digital Editions, it will show you how long is left in the loan period, and automatically 'return' it once the period is up. Return it early if you are finished with it so the copy is available for others to use. 

You can copy and paste from an eBook withouth needing to sign in to EBSCO.
