Click on a chapter to jump to

that point of the book

Viewing the eBook

Each screen will show you one page.

To view other pages,

you must click Previous or Next. You cannot scroll through the book; you must click Next

to “turn the page.” You can also jump to a specific page

number by entering it in the Page box and clicking Go.

Printing the eBook

To print, click here. You can choose to print either the page you are currently viewing or

a certain number of pages starting with the one you are viewing.

Notes about NetLibrary

NetLibrary allows a limited number of users

to view an eBook at one time. This means that you may be denied access to an eBook if too

many other users are currently viewing it. If this happens,

you will see a notice that says the eBook is currently in use.

You can choose to have a hold placed on the title, which will

reserve a block of time just for you to view the eBook. You

can also choose to be notified by email whenever the eBook

becomes available again.

Notes about NetLibrary

If you remain inactive in NetLibrary, your

session will automatically time out. After 15 minutes of inactivity, you will be logged out of your NetLibrary

session. You will be automatically redirected to the main search page and

you will lose your place in an eBook and your previous search information.

To avoid this, remain active in NetLibrary by clicking through pages. If you

are logged out due to inactivity, be sure to log back in through Pilgrim

Library’s website (with authentication if you’re off-campus).

NetLibrary Help

NetLibrary has a great Help

section on their site. Use it! If you have any other difficulties using

eBooks through NetLibrary, click on Help

in the top right corner. The General section

of this help guide is especially informative.

For additional assistance, contact Pilgrim

Library – we’re happy to help!

Remember!

If you are accessing off-campus, you must

authenticate through OhioLINK.

You must access NetLibrary through the library’s or OhioLINK’s website.

For help with this process, visit our Off-Campus Access LibGuide.

Congratulations!
