Q. How long can I have an ebook out for?

Ebooks with limited user licenses have loan periods that depend on the platform.

  • EBSCO: the loan period is currently 3 hours.
  • ProQuest: the user can choose 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, or 21 days to check out an ebook.
  • Internet Archive: the loan period is 1 hour. These items are not owned by Smith and they cannot be found using Discover. You will need to create a free Internet Archive account to borrow Internet Archive ebook copies (see the terms of use).
