An introduction to ebooks at the EMU library.

JSTOR Ebook Tips

  1. The JSTOR ebook page will have links to PDF copies of the chapters. You can download or print chapters for personal use.
  2. JSTOR ebooks don't have limits on simultaneous users, so you should never get a busy signal.
  3. If you want to save the ebook as a favorite in your browser, be sure to save the stable URL for the book (at the top of the table of contents page). There is sometimes a stable URL provided for specific chapters.
  4. If you have trouble logging in, the most common problems are:
    a. You may need to set your browser to accept cookies.
    b. If your EMU NetID password has expired, you may need to change your password.
  5. You may be able to get immediate help using the ebook from Ask a Librarian chat.

In that case, try searching for the ebook in E-search (use ebook search provided below).

If you are asked to log in and your login doesn't work, you may need to update your NetID password (see Login Problems below).
