PDET Ebooks

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba; Bryan Mealer; Anna Hymas (Illustrator)
Publication Date: 2016
This is a one-person-at-a-time ebook. If you are the 2nd reader, you may get a "busy signal" and have to try again later. Wait for at least 30 minutes before trying to access it again. If you plan to rely solely on the ebook, it's wise to read ahead. Scroll down to find chapter links or use the PDF or EPUB link in the left column. You can read the entire book when logged in online, but can only print, download or email a limited number of pages. If you get an odd error message when trying to log in, try refreshing the browser page. More tips for EBSCO ebooks.

Product Design and Development, 7th ed by Karl Ulrich
Publication Date: 2019
This is a 3-user ebook. If you are the 4th reader, you will get a "busy signal" and have to try again later. If you plan to rely solely on the ebook, it's wise to read ahead. You can only print a limited number of pages. Be wary of using the download PDF option to read chapters, as this will quickly deplete your printing quota. Instead use Read Online, then print only specific key pages. More tips for ProQuest ebooks.
