How to download ebooks

Introduction

Authorized users of Concordia University Library can download selected ebooks in PDF format onto their personal computers from the Ebook Central and EBSCOhost platforms. These downloaded ebook files can then be transferred onto a variety of mobile reading devices (including iPads) for offline use. Ebooks can also be downloaded directly to iPad tablets that have the appropriate app installed. Some titles in Ebook Central and EBSCOhost are unavailable for downloading. Users must be connected to the Concordia network in order to access downloadable ebooks.

Note: The instructions below currently apply only to the Ebook Central and EBSCOhost platforms. Many other ebook platforms accessible to Concordia users permit downloading and viewing of ebooks in standard PDF format.
