Click on the title link in the first record or click here.

Click Next.

Looking for Print Copies

This is the detailed record in the catalog for the common reader. Note the format options under Availability. Here you will see an e-book link option, and two print copies.

Print copies are located either on the third floor (circulating copy - a two month loan), or a Course Reserve copy (seven day loan), will be behind the circulation desk for checkout. Holdings information will appear like below:

Looking for Print Copies

If you prefer the print and all available copies are checked out, you may use the Request It option to request delivery via Interlibrary Loan. Sign in with your MU ID credentials.

Since we'll focus on accessing the e-book, this can be skipped for now.

Accessing the E-book

We have several different e-book providers, but the common reader is provided from E-book Central, which requires a few steps to provide access.

Note that all of our e-books can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection.

First, click the View eBook link here or below.

Click Next.

Accessing the E-book

In order to access this e-book, you'll have to login with your Marian University username and password.

Login and you'll then proceed to the e-book page.

Click Next.

Reading Options

Upon signing in, users will be taken to the record for the e-book. To read it, you have several choices.

The first and easiest choice is to download individual chapters. This can be done by looking in the central area and selecting the desired chapter.

Clicking on the desired chapter will generate a PDF to save to your device. Give it a try on any chapter.

Click Next.

Reading in the Browser

Another choice is to read it in the browser by using the Read Online option. Click that button, just below the cover image.  Here users will be able to read page by page within your browser. Note the features in the top horizontal area, which include zooming in/out, highlighting content, citing the book, adding bookmarks, etc.

Note that to cycle between pages, users will either have to scroll down using the mouse or clicking the right arrow button at the top right.

Select specific chapters to be displayed in the reading area from the left side of the page.

Click Next

Downloading the Whole Book

Now return to the record page by clicking here.

Users do have the option to download the entire book to their device. There are some extra steps to take, and note that the book will remain on your personal device for 21 days.

Also note that downloading the book will require installing free third-party software to your device.

Click Next.

Downloading the Whole Book

First, click on the Download Book button. A page will take you a login, where you just need to click 'continue'.

Another pop-up will then appear asking what device you are using. Click on the appropriate device, the "my own computer" option, and then click Continue.

Click Next.

Downloading the Whole Book

Select the appropriate app to download to your device, and click Continue.

Note you will also need to create a free account with Adobe Digital Editions, which can be done separately apart from this tutorial.

For now, click Done with This Step. 

Click Next.

Downloading the Whole Book

Finally, you'll be taken to a page whereby the entirety of the book can be downloaded to your device (provided you installed the app and created the free Adobe account ID). All you have to do is choose the length of the checkout. 

And that's it.

Wrapping up

So there are basically three ways to access this e-book, either downloading individual chapters, reading in the browser, or downloading the entire book.

Each option has it's own steps and increasing its level of difficulty. Library staff recommend the least cumbersome option, which is downloading individual chapters when needed. But it is entirely up to the user's preference.

Thanks for using this tutorial. Please feel free to contact library staff with any questions about accessing this or any other e-book within our collection.
