– NetLibrary + EBSCO
NetLibrary has transitioned to EBSCOhost! The look and functionality is different. To get the full functionality, create a myEBSCO folder and acquire the license you need to download books to your computer or other compatible device. The interface for searching and looking at the books and tables of content in NetLibrary have also been revamped.
EBSCO support offers a variety of user guides and tutorials to help you navigate the new interface and make the most of the increased functionality. Supported reader devices include the Nook (as well as the color and gossamer models) and the Sony reader (several models) and any e-reader that is compatible with Adobe Digital Editions . One of the most attractive features of the new version of NetLibrary is that library patrons may select the length of time they can borrow the e-book. If you just want to read a chapter or two, check it out for a day or if you want to read it from the front over image to the back cover image then you can opt to have it for longer. Let us know how it is working out for you!
