The Michigan eLibrary subscribes to over 200,000 eBook titles through EBSCO.
Using eBooks in online programming presents different questions. EBSCO has provided permission for all of the eBooks in our subscription to be used in their entirety for live online programming.
When it comes to using an entire eBook in a recording of an online program, that is a different matter. You should make sure you 1.) avoid releasing a video recording into the public sphere where a full eBook is used in the recording and 2.) avoid monetizing the sharing of the recording for profit.
For regular eBook use, stay within the guidelines provided by publishers.
For eBook use with online programming:
Do not make video recordings available for commercial use. For instance, full eBook content cannot be provided in a situation where a fee is being charged to access it.
Recordings must be restricted on a private channel (for instance, a private YouTube channel) or be accessible after a patron has provided their library card number, etc.
