Using eBooks
  • Access to eBooks is based on IP recognition for the computers in your library or remotely via your library's proxy server.
  • If a patron creates their NetLibrary account in your library, then they can use their account on their home computer to access the eBooks.
  • Patrons can view and use an eBook as long as they turn pages actively. If they are inactive for a period of 15 minutes or more, they book will be returned to the system.
  • If an eBook is in use, your patrons can receive an e-mail notification when the book is returned and available for use.
  • If you load the MARC records for the collection into your circulation system, your patrons may be able to link to the text of an eBook right from your catalog. (Your catalog must support hyperlinks in the 856 field of the MARC record.)
  • If your library has access to WorldCat (OCLC's union catalog) on the OCLC FirstSearch service, your patrons can find your library's eBooks and link to the book directly from FirstSearch.
