EBSCO eBooks for FE Subscription Collection: Reading Online
Reading online is the simplest method of accessing ebooks on the FE Subscription Collection platform and is the recommended option for reading ebooks on this platform
If you chose to read online, you can
- make notes (if you are logged in to your MyEBSCO account)
- search within the full text of the book
- usually copy between 5-10% of the book

Note: some publishers are not as generous as others, and may restrict online reading sessions, printing or copying. The ebook detail page will let you know how much of the book you can print or copy
When you click the Access eBook link on the search results page, this is what you see
- The front cover of the book
- A table of contents on the right
