The library provides access to two different models of e-book through ebrary.com. The majority of the ebooks we get through ebrary are part of a 70,000 volume subscription. These books allow multiple people to use them at one time, but they may be withdrawn from the collection at the request of their publishers. The library also buys ebook versions of certain texts; most of these are only accessible to one user at a time.
Browsing a book on Ebrary
When you click on the Electronic Book link in for an item in the library catalog, you may be brought to a screen that looks like this: 
In the right side of the window, you will see the Table of Contents.
Clicking on a chapter title in the Table of Contents will cause the first page of that chapter to be displayed in the left side of the window. 
Clicking on the Left and Right arrows at the top left will let you page through the text.
Putting a specific page number in the Page box will let you skip to that page.
Downloading and printing from Ebooks on Ebrary
Setting up your ebrary account
In order to download or print from an ebrary book, you'll have to 'check it out' through an account you create on ebrary.
Creating your account is free and easy.
Click on Sign In in the upper right corner of the screen:
In the window that comes up,
Click on Create an Account 
Then you'll need to fill out a form:
You need to use your Drew email address and Drew ID for this.
Once you've created your account, you'll be able to sign in.
You can tell you've signed in, because it will say "Signed in as:" your email addressin the upper right corner:
Downloading & Printing
In order to print pages from an ebrary book, you'll need to download them first, once you're logged in to ebrary.
You can download material from an ebrary book in two formats: PDF or "Adobe Digital Editions."
- PDF is best for printing and can be read on almost any device, but you will be able to download no more than 60 pages.
- Adobe Digital Editions requires installing the Adobe Digital Editions reader on the computer/device you will be using (see http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/ ), but lets you download and use the entire book (it becomes unreadable after 14 days) and has a very nice interface.
To download from the book, click on the Download 
button near the top of the screen. A pop-up window should appear.
If you want a PDF, either
- select "Create an image PDF of the current chapter" and choose the chapter in the dropdown box, or
- select "Create an image PDF of pages ____ to __" and enter the page numbers.
NOTE: the page numbers you use here should be those that appear in the upper right hand corner of your screen, NOT the printed page numbers inside the book!
Then click OK in the lower right. You'll get a new pop-up; choose whether to save or open the document.
Once in PDF, you can print using the File -> Print command in Adobe Reader.
Adobe Digital Editions
If necessary, install Adobe Digital Editions from http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/
Then, select "Download the Entire document for X days in Adobe Digital Editions format". (The browser will tell you if you don't have Adobe Digital Editions).
Some portions of Ebrary books can be printed from within the Digital Editions format: to find out how much of a given book you can print, open it in Digital Editions, and from the Reading drop-down on the top left, pull down to "Item Info" which will tell you how many pages you may print.
Remember: If you just want to browse/read the book from a computer or device that has online access, you don't need to download it at all- just page through it on ebrary. You can save it to your 'bookshelf' to refer to later, also.
Ebrary Reader
Ebrary does provide it's own specialized e-reader software, and you can download it and view the book in it by clicking on Ebrary Reader.
