E-books

ProQuest Central

Whilst some e-book formats automatically resize on mobile devices, many don’t. If your book doesn’t resize, there are two options for reading on your mobile.

Option one: open the online reader menu and use the zoom buttons to increase text size (see below left).

Option two: Click on the Download Book tab underneath an e-book and you’ll be prompted to install Adobe Digital Editions for offline reading (see below centre; you’ll also need to set up an Adobe ‘pass’ account the first time you use the reader). 

Please note that you will not be able to download e-books if we only have one copy. If you think we should purchase more copies of a particular title, please do let us know.

Then, choose your device, click I’m using my own computer and continue.

When prompted to install an e-book reader, press done with this step, as you should have already installed Adobe Digital Editions (see below right).

Choose loan duration and file format (if you have the option to do so) and click download your book. 

Your browser should show your downloaded book. To read it, click open.
