NetLibrary links: NetLibrary e-book links should take you directly to the EBSCO platform. For now, there are no URL changes to be made (EBSCO is using re-directs on the NetLibrary links for an indefinite period of time).
EBSCO eBooks App Retired: In late May 2018, EBSCO retired the EBSCO eBooks mobile app in order to focus on improving the user experience with the ePUB format (which is not compatible with the mobile app). To help users who wish to continue to use EBSCO eBooks via app, EBSCO has created a guide to using EBSCO eBooks on the Bluefire Reader at https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/How-can-I-download-and-read-eBooks-on-my-mobile-device?language=en_US.
