Electronic books (e-books)

Copying and printing from electronic resources is governed by copyright law and the licences that UCL signs. As a general rule, you are permitted to copy or print one chapter or 5%, whichever is greater, and you must abide by UCL's terms and conditions of use. In addition, some e-books use technical measures (DRM or Digital Rights Management) to set the amount that you can copy or print per e-book, and some platforms disable the copy and print functions on downloaded content.

To print pages from an e-book on EBSCOhost, first view PDF Full Text.

Then select Print Pages on the top right of the menu bar. This will show you how many pages you can print, depending on the publisher's specifications.

In Kortext, you can view the print allowance of an e-book by clicking on the printer icon found on the tab on the left hand side of the online reader:

In VLeBooks, the copy and print allowance is displayed alongside the e-book details. This allowance can differ between e-books.
