Troy Public Library's NetLibrary eBook collection is scheduled to switch to a new platform called EBSCOhost. All of our eBooks that were available through NetLibrary will be available on the new EBSCOhost platform. Additionally, the NetLibrary name will be retired.
If you are a regular user of NetLibrary eBooks, you need to be aware that your NetLibrary account will no longer be available to you after this switch occurs. Any information that is associated with your account (such as notes you have taken in specific eBooks) will be deleted with your account.
To use eBooks on the new EBSCOhost platform, you will need to create an EBSCOhost account. Account creation is easy, and you can find step-by-step instructions here. For a tutorial on how to search for eBooks in EBSCOhost, please view this tutorial.
eBooks from EBSCOhost will function just like NetLibrary eBooks did. They will not be downloadable. Instead, you will be able to view them directly from within your browser. They are non-holdable, can't be used on eReaders, but are always available for viewing. Additionally, after creating an EBSCOhost account, you will be able to make notes in eBooks you view.
We hope you try out eBooks on EBSCOhost. Please let us know if you have any issues by leaving us a comment.

I used to use EBSCO database when I was in college and I have to say that I always found authoritative and reliable information that was really updated, if you have to do a deep research of recent or old topics, I recommend you to go straight to EBESCO database
