Some book vendors do not allow multiple users on e-books. Even though the library aims at providing the best access possible within the budget, e-books found in the library catalog are not always suitable for presenting to a whole course of students. If you have found a citation that you would like to use in your course, click the online link to the resource and check how many users can access at the time.
As a general rule, e-books directly from the main academic publishers as Cambridge, Emerald, Sage, Springer, Taylor&Francis and Wiley has full access. Pearson is the exception with only 5 same-time users and therefore not suitable. E-books from aggregators like ProQuest sometimes can have restricted access as well.
The policy at CBS is that students should buy their own textbooks - but we help where we can.
Do not hesitate to contact the library if in doubt.
