Ebooks from TSTC Library Services' digital collection can be used for course readings, but some vendors and/or individual titles may have license restrictions that limit the number of simultaneous users. This limit means assigning certain titles as required reading for everyone in a class will not always be possible.
If you'd like to assign readings from an ebook, please reach out asklibrary@tstc.edu for guidance, and also take a look at our Ebooks guide to help you identify any restrictions within specific databases.
