Many EFSC Library EBSCO eBooks can be downloaded to your home computer and transferred to a mobile device.
Note: it is not necessary to download eBooks to view and use them for research. Downloading simply gives you the added ability to read and work with eBooks offline on a home computer or eBook reader.
- Set up a My EBSCOhost account if you do not already have one.
- Download Adobe Digital Editions to your home computer, if you do not already have it installed.
