FAQ: If I download an EBSCO eBook, I only have it for 7 days. Are there any other options?

Email a PDF

For most EBSCO eBooks, there is an option to email yourself a PDF of a chapter or two which you can then download to your computer indefinitely and/or print it.  Check the eBook title details page to see how many pages are available for Print/Email/Save.  Often it will be 60 or 100 pages per session.

Steps

1. Click on the PDF Full Text or EPUB Full Text icon to go into the eBook.

   

2. Under the title and author information, there will be a "Publisher Permissions" area that will detail how many pages you can print/email/save.
3. Look on the left side for the table of contents and click on the chapter/pages you want to read. 
4. At the top of the screen click on the E-mail Pages icon.

   

5. The "E-mail PDF" box will appear:
   1. Click the radio button that says “This Section: X pages” (it will automatically update the number of pages depending on how long the chapter is).
   2. Enter your email address into the “E-mail to” field.
   3. Click the Email PDF button.

   

6. Check your spam folder if you don’t see it within a few minutes.
7. You can now download the PDF to your computer and save/print it.
