To check out e-books from your county library, you must have a library card from them, and you must download <a href="http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc/%20" target="_blank" title="Overdrive software">Overdrive Media Console</a> onto your reading device.

An example is EBSCO, for which CIIS subscribes.<br /> </li> <li>Another example is the ebrary service, to which we also subscribe.
