Below are some common questions. Please contact Ask A Librarian if you have others!
- How can I get help with e-books?
Please contact Ask a Librarian for help.
- Do you have the Overdrive or Libby platform for eBooks?
No. The University Libraries' vendors do not use the Overdrive or Libby platforms.
- Do I have to download an e-book to read it?
No. You may read the e-book in your web browser. Must have internet access.
- Can I get an eBook through ILL?
Most requests are not typically filled because of licensing constraints such as Digital Rights Management (DRM). Send an email to libill@unm.edu with any questions about a particular title. You can also request the purchase of an electronic edition of a book.
- How do I know if a book is available in e-book format?
The Catalog Search on the Library homepage has records of most of the e-books available from the library, but some vendors' e-book titles are not in the Catalog Search. Please contact Ask a Librarian if you do not find the title in Catalog Search.
- Can I print an entire e-book?
It depends. Copyright law and vendor licensing may restrict printing and downloading. Some vendors don't allow printing at all, and some vendors restrict the amount of printing.
