Disclaimer:  Our subscription to Ebook Central does not include perpetual access rights to the titles in the database.  Titles are added and removed from the database by the vendor on a regular basis. A permalink created for a specific title may fail in the future if the vendor removes access to that title in the future.

The EBSCO eBooks collection (formerly NetLibrary) is an online database of over 12,000 full-text ebooks.  Unlike Ebrary which allows unlimited users to access the same e-book, only one user can view a particular e-book at a time.

To create a permalink to an e-book from EBSCOhost:

• Click on the link to EBSCOhost eBooks from the online database list.
• Search for an article.
• Click on the article title.
• Click on the "Permalink" option located on the right-hand side of the article page.
• The Permalink URL will appear right above the title of the article.  Click on the URL to highlight it, and then right-click to copy/paste the URL.
