Ebooks

An introduction to ebooks at the EMU library.

Sage Ebook Tips

  1. The SAGE ebook page will have links to the chapters--you may have to look down the page for these. You can also download chapters as PDF files for personal use and these can be printed.
  2. SAGE 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, find the book in Esearch and save the Esearch record. The link you see at the top of the browser may not work at another time and place.
  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.

Logging in to use the ebook

If you are on campus, you don't need to login to access a SAGE ebook. If if you are off campus,  you will be asked to log in with your EMU NetID.  If you aren't asked to log in, there may be an issue with the link you have to the book. 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).
