How do I download an e-book?

Answer

E-books can be accessed through the library catalog or the library's e-book databases, including the EBSCO eBook Collection, Oxford Handbooks Online, and Gale eBooks collections.  You will be prompted to log-on with your SAC username and password.

E-books are available for downloading on a limited basis. Due to copyright and publisher restrictions only portions of e-books can be downloaded. 

Download options:

When books are offered in a PDF and/or EPUB full text viewing format, it is possible to download a limited portion of the book.
