Printing
Most eBooks have limitations on copying and pasting text due to copyright restrictions. Limitations also apply to the number of pages you can print at a time.
Closing E-books
Where possible click Close Item when done rather than closing the browser or clicking the browser back button. This closes the eBook and makes it accessible to other students without a delay of 15 minutes.
Other Features
Some eBooks allow you to create an account which may provide functionality for creating notes or a favourites list.
Please see the staff at the InfoHelp desk if you need any assistance.
