Canvas and Library Resources

How many can use eBooks?

Things to remember about eBooks: 

1. Some of our eBooks have a limited number of simultaneous users.
2. Sometimes just a single user can log in (using their MyPGCC credentials) at one time.

Keep this in mind when planning readings and assignments involving eBooks.

Contact the library if your students will need access at the same time. In some cases, we may be able to increase access to a title.

See the How to add EBSCO eBooks and How to add ProQuest eBooks pages for more information.
