Ebook Central (via ProQuest) includes online versions of print books that the library either purchased with a perpetual license or via an annual subscription. eBooks that are owned will be available to the library in perpetuity, with provisions being made for long term access and preservation. eBooks available via subscription are renewed annually for the library to retain access. Ebook Central sometimes restricts the number of simultaneous database users so that only one person can access an eBook at a time.
The range of subjects available include:
Ebook Central titles can be downloaded to your computer and read using the free Adobe Digital Editions. You will also need to use Adobe Digital Editions to transfer an eBook to a supported portable eReader device. A free Adobe ID is required to transfer an eBook to another device, but not if you’re just reading it on the same computer.
Ebook Central (ProQuest) titles can be downloaded to your mobile device and read with the free Adobe Digital Editions app.
Note for Apple Device Users: Pop-ups must be allowed in the settings for the Safari web browser as the downloaded eBook file opens in a new tab before opening in the Adobe Digital Editions app.
