• Many of our eBooks have a limited number of simultaneous users.
• Sometimes just a single user can log in (using their Merrimack ID) at one time.
• Keep this in mind when planning readings and assignments involving eBooks.
• Contact the library if your students will need access at the same time. In some cases, we may be able to increase access to a title.
