The EBSCOhost eBook database is a large collection of digital books that supports
curriculum and research at NWC.  It is accessed via the on the Learning Commons
homepage on the Databases A-Z list under the "E" selections.  

The best way for you to use EBSCO eBook content is to email sections to yourself as a
PDF.  You can keep these PDFs in your cloud storage for the duration of your specific class
at NWC, keeping in mind that they are covered by copyright fair use for educational purposes
and should not be disseminated out to your professional community at large.
 

These books can also be downloaded to a device.  To download an eBook from EBSCO, you
will need a personal account in EBSCO which you can establish by clicking into the "sign in"
link at the top-right of the database page.  Additionally, you will need a reader that works with
your particular device.  The duration of checkout for an EBSCO eBook is 7 days for NWC users. 
After this time period, the eBook will disappear from your device.   If a book is a "single user" 
title and it is checked out,  you can place a hold on it providing you have a personal user account
in EBSCO.
