• Since this is provided by PASCAL, you will need to create your own personal account in order to sign in. 
• In order to get a link to an eBook, you must complete the "Request a course friendly link" rather than use the Permalink tool that you may be familiar with from using Daniel Library's EBSCO databases.
• Please take a look at the PDF below which contains screen shots and helpful information.
• Please reach out with any questions.
• While this is a great database to find OAR, OER and eBooks available for library purchase, it does not include all the titles that are available in these formats.  If you don't find anything here that fits with your course, there may be other options out there. Please see the Open Education Resource Guide for more information or contact your librarian liaison. 
• Thank you for considering eBook options for your course textbook and/or supplemental readings!
