This research guide has instructions about various tools that are integrated between the duPont-Ball Library and Stetson's learning management system, Canvas. This guide also features answers to some frequently asked questions by students and faculty.

How do I know if I can share an eBook with my entire class?

Different titles of eBooks come with different licensing arrangements. Some are limited to 1-5 concurrent users, while others are unlimited. If you plan to use an eBook in class, be sure to check out the limitation on numbers of concurrent users. Here are 2 examples (Ebsco eBooks and eBookCentral). Once you have found a title in the duPont-Ball catalog, click the title or "view book" and search for availability or concurrent users. Keep in mind, also, that various providers offer different permissions for the number of pages that may be downloaded or printed.
