Downloading e-Books:

You can download chapters or portions of chapters from the e-Books to read from your browser or offline. Some publishers will limit the amount of pages you are able to download at a given time. These will be downloaded as PDFs formats. 

For e-Books that can be downloaded in full, you will require additional software, Adobe Digital Editions, which is only accessible following a request to your local IT department. If you are using a personal device you can download this yourself. Please make requests to your local IT department if you require this additional software. 

Downloading onto popular e-reading devices, such as "Kindle" will not be compatible. Devices that can download Adobe Digital Editions will be compatible, once the Adobe software has been installed (eg Kindle Fire, Android and Apple tablets)
