E-Books at Kimbel Library
Kimbel Library provides access to thousands of ebooks for CCU users. But unlike ebooks that you buy and download to your personal ereader or mobile device, ebooks accessed through Kimbel Libarary have different restrictions.
Just as journal articles are found on different platforms, the library has ebooks on several (10 and counting) platforms, and each platform has it's own set of rules for reading, printing, and downloading. Some platforms require to you to check out a book to download it. Some allow only one user at a time (so a book may be in use when you need it.)
