Digital Books

Digital books from the Pierce College Library are provided in accordance with the principles of controlled digital lending and are not intended for further distribution.

For this reason, printing, emailing, or downloading copies to a personal device are not permitted. 

The library maintains an own-to-loan ratio (1:1) for every digital copy that is available to borrow. This means that, at times, digital availability will be limited. Please use the waitlist feature to access the book you need. This will inform the library about high-demand books so that additional copies can be made available as needed. 

The Pierce College Library has made efforts to produce a document accessible to screen readers but cannot guarantee full accessibility.

If you need assistance with obtaining a fully accessible textbook, please contact the Academic Accommodations Center.
