Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How can I access NetLibrary from both on and off campus?

   On-campus:
   All NetLibrary titles can be searched and accessed either through the link to Netlibrary or the JSRCC Library Catalog from library's homepage at http://www.reynolds.edu/library/.  No username or password is required. 

   Off-campus:
   To access Netlibrary collections from off-campus, you'll have to set up a free account at http://www.netlibrary.com from an internet terminal on campus.
    

2. What is the difference between viewing and checking out a title?
   Viewing lets you access a title in 15-minute increments. As long as you are active in the eContent (turning pages, doing full-text searches, etc.), you continue to have access to the title. When you become inactive in the eContent, it is returned for someone else to use. Checking out a title to your account gives you exclusive access to a title for the entire checkout period, which is set for 4 hours.
    

3. Do I need to return full-text eContent titles when the checkout period expires?
   No. The full-text eContent title automatically returns to your library after the checkout period.
    

4. Can I print or copy text from a full-text eContent title?
   Yes. You can copy small selections or print single pages of a title, just as you can with print material. NetLibrary full-text eContent is protected by copyright laws subject to the terms and conditions of fair use.
