ScholarsPortal e-books
Once you select a title in the ScholarsPortal platform, you are directed straight to the "Read online’ format. You can see the details in the left panel.
The “Usage Terms” section tells you how many readers are allowed at the same time and whether there are any limitations on copying, printing, or downloading.
When it says that we have “Unlimited readers allowed”, then you should always be able to read the book online.
In this example, you can download the whole book as a PDF.
In this example, the PDF is not available: you can only print each chapter or read it online.
The “Usage Terms” and the “Export pages to PDF” sections tell you how many pages/chapters you can download when it is applicable.
If you are browsing ScholarsPortal and come across the message “This book is only available on our platform for the following institutions” then Western Libraries has not purchased this title. You can recommend the title for purchase by filling out our Recommend a Purchase form.
