eBook Previews for Brief Use

All CSU Libraries eBooks can be used online for a short period of time without checking them out, although you might be asked to sign in to the eBook collection.  Specifics vary depending on the book, but usually you will be able to:

  • search within the full text of the book
  • navigate using a table of contents
  • copy & paste parts of the text
  • print or download a certain number of pages

In many cases, you will have to borrow the eBook in order to download the entire text and use it while you are offline.

Example eBook Preview

This ProQuest eBook Central display briefly tells the user what they can and cannot do with this book.  More features are available once the user chooses the "Read Online" (preview) option.
