How many pages can I print from an eBook?

There is no overriding rule for how many pages a student can print from an eBook. The number of pages a patron is allowed to print from an eBook is specific to each eBook and/or platform. Read the other information in this box to find out where in the major databases you can locate the statements on printing permissions.

When you are viewing an eBook from the EBSCO eBook Collection through the online viewer, the printing permissions are available in the top left corner of the online viewer under the section “Publisher Permissions”. The permissions for this particular eBook allow you to print, email, or save up to 100 pages of this eBook.
