How do I read an EBSCO ebook?
Answer:
Get Access to the ebook
In LibrarySearch, click on EBSCOhost in the View Online section
If you're off-campus, you'll be prompted to log into your UO account.
Read in Browser
If you want to read in your browser, look for the Table of Contents section and click the section you want to read.
Download the ebook
Note: not all EBSCO ebooks allow you to download the full book
To download the ebook you will need to make and sign into a MyEBSCO account and also download and install Thorium reader.
Find the MyEBSCO button in the upper right of the page, click it and then choose "Create an account" or "Sign in to MyEBSCO" depending on if it's the first time or a return visit.
You should use your UO email for this account, but we recommend using a different password than your campus one.
Once you're logged in, click the "Download" button.
Different books will have different numbers of days they are available for checkout. This example gives you the option of 1 day or 2 days. The ebook you download will expire after the number of days you choose and if you need continued access you'll need to repeat this process.
Click "Download" to download the time-limited ebook. If you haven't already installed Thorium reader, follow the link to install it on your computer. You'll also need to copy the passphrase on this page to be able to open the book within Thorium reader.
