Research Guides: E-books: EBSCOhost

EBSCOhost

This platform hosts the e-books and e-journals in the eBook Collection (EBSCO) and all of our EBSCO databases. FSU's e-book collection can be searched in conjunction with any or all EBSCO databases. E-books on this platform are available via purchase, DDA, and subscription. Titles from multiple publishers are brought together on the commercially-operated platform.

Usage Limits

Titles can have one user at a time, unlimited users, or non-linear usage (see “e-Book Terms” for details). The user access model can be found on the book access page and the in-browser full-text viewer (see above) along with the number of copies for e-books with a single simultaneous user and the number of days available for e-books with non-linear usage. FSU shares some titles with other institutions, which can further restrict access.

Most e-books also have a limit on the number of pages that can be saved (as PDFs and/or EPUBs) or printed; this information is on the book access page and the in-browser full-text viewer (see above). A small number of e-books offer DRM-free downloads; these titles are not labeled on the EBSCOhost platform.
