Editor's Notes
- When the Library gets the textbook list, we try to get the book electronically to accommodate our distance users and allow greater accessibility of the book. However, please note that we license these books through different eBook vendors and each title may be on a different ‘platform’ or have a different look & feel & capabilities as well as be limited by the number of copied of the book available. I have provided the hyperlinks when available. However each title will probably have a different number of simultaneous users. If there is a limit I indicate that. That means that if you try the link and we only have 1 ‘copy’ of the book available & someone else is using it, you may get a turn away notice.
- You will be prompted to “authenticate” or log in to access any of the libraries’ subscription electronic resources. You will use the 1st box for Current students, faculty & staff and you will log in using your Sharklink username and password. (It should be the same one you use to log into Blackboard and check your Sharkmail.
- To request a scanned chapter of a Reserve book, from the item record, click on Interlibrary Loan- Health Professions Division
- Choose Book Chapter from the New Request menu on the left.
- The most important question you fill out will be your HPD Campus Affiliation. This is where you indicate that you are a distance student
- When the item is available, they will not send the PDF to you. They will send you a link to log back into Interlibrary Loan and click on [Electronically Received Articles]
