Using ebrary

The visit this week from the ebrary account consultant, Kerry O'Day, was especially useful because it cleared up the most frequently asked question from our students, "How many pages of the book can I print?" The answer is five pages at a time or a maximum of 40 pages per browser session. If the student is copying text the 40 page limit also applies but only one page of text can be copied at a time and images cannot be copied. Of course, students can close their browser and start a new session if they need to print or copy additional pages.

Kerry also answered some access questions. Ebrary allows unlimited simultaneous multi-user access. All links (to books or chapters) are persistant links and can be used in Blackboard and accessed from off-campus.
