How long can I have an ebook out for?
It depends on the ebook. Please see our ebook section.
Can I access an ebook if it’s available specifically at a Five College campus (such at Mount Holyoke or UMass) but not Smith?
Sadly, no. In some cases, there are only individual institution licenses. You could request that we order a Smith-specific ebook copy, or access the resource on site while on site at the institution that has a license. You can also request a print copy of the resource!
How do I “return” an ebook?
You will not always need to “return” an ebook. If the resource is only available under a one-user-at-a-time license, however, here’s what you should do:
What do I do if the required readings for my course(s) are not listed?
What do I do if the course I’m taking is missing a required resource?
I’m a Five College user or I have a Five College student enrolled in my class. How do they access Smith-specific resources?
