Introducing the New Ebrary Reader


Ebrary is a large database of ebooks that support teaching and research across the following disciplines: the arts, business, education, humanities, history, law, life sciences, medicine, nursing, physical sciences, psychology, religion and sociology.

These ebooks are available to you 24/7 to read online, download to your personal computer or mobile device or save to your personal Ebrary bookshelf.

Recently Ebrary upgraded its eBook Reader to provide more intuitive navigation and streamlined key tasks.  This new Reader is now live at Notre Dame and includes some of the following features:

·         Clearer user permissions, including printing, copying and downloading permissions

·         The ability to download books to your laptop, tablet or phone (iOS and Android) for offline reading.

·         Personal bookshelves that automatically store links to highlights, notes, and more, providing an archive of research. Folders can be emailed to peers.

·         Multiple options for searching and navigating.

·         Automatic citations when text is printed or copied and pasted into Word or any text applications.

·         Compatibility with screen readers and other assistive technology for patrons with special accessibility needs.

·        Catalog search and bookshelf interface available in multiple languages, with the new online Reader to follow by Q4, 2014. Patrons may choose between English, Arabic, Chinese (simplified), French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish, with additional languages in the works.
