Beginning Wednesday, September 17th, you may notice a change in the way you access some ebooks.
ProQuest Ebook Central, one of our biggest resources for ebook use, is rolling out a new download app called, cleverly enough, Ebook Central Reader App. This replaces Adobe Digital Editions for full book downloads, allowing offline reading, and has been built for use on both mobile (Apple or Android) and desktop (PC or Mac) use.
Please note that this app is used for the downloading of loaned, full Ebook Central titles only. Searching, online reading, and individual chapter downloads in PDF format will continue to be done directly from the Ebook Central page. Ebooks from other library resources will not be affected by this change, either.
Getting started is easy:
- Follow the Installation guide
- Watch this short walkthrough or sign up for a training session.
- Log-in to Download the Ebook Central Reader App from the App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android), or install it on your Windows/macOS laptop.
- Sign in with your Ebook Central account – the same one you use to access ebooks through our library.
- Start downloading your ebooks for offline reading.
If you have any questions or run into any issues, you can always reach out to the library staff for support or visit the Ebook Central LibGuide.
