Reminder about using Myilibray ebooks
Note when using MyiLibrary books:
The Myilibrary books are easily locked from use due to suspected breaches of copyright. The following instructions were given to ensure continued use of the books:
Printing: Do not try to print more then copyright allows. The limit is given as you select the Print Multiple Pages function.
Browsing: If you want to move quickly ahead or behind in the book use the Go To Page function or the Table of Contents. Browsing quickly with the Previous and Next functions can cause the book to be locked, as if the pages are turned quicker than they can be looked at automated downloading is suspected. The Previous and Next functions can be used when reading or browsing the book at a reasonable rate.
By abiding by these recommendations we can improve access to these books. Hopefully no more books will be locked right before exams!

Aalto log-in at DawsonEra
The DawsonEra ebooks are now accessed with Aalto-login. This causes changes in the ebook links in Teemu, but those should be updated by Moday. Until then, the platform can be accessed through Nelli.
