eBooks

EBSCO limits users to one institution. If you have used an EBSCO product from the Denver Library database, and then try to open an EBSCO eBook from the DTL, it will not open. You will need to use a different browser, or clear your cache and close your browser and start over.

Sometimes the Zotero connector extension causes error messages. Fix this by:

1. Clicking on the Zotero extension icon in the upper right corner, on Chrome it looks like a puzzle piece
2. Go to Manage Extensions
3. Scroll to Site Access. "Allow this extension to read and change all of your data on the websites you visit:"
4. Change the option from "On all sites," to "On click"

Publishers set limits for each title on the number of pages you can print and the amount of text you can copy and paste.

To see the number of pages you can copy or print in Denver EBSCO eBooks click on View Details. That opens the page with print, copy details.

Print and copy information in DTL EBSCO eBooks is near the bottom of the first screen.
