Step 5:

Read the ebook. We recommend that you don't bother downloading it because it's more trouble than it's worth. It's easier to just read it online. However, if you don't have an internet connection at home and would like to download the ebook while you're on campus, you can follow these instructions for downloading an EBSCO ebook and for downloading an EBL ebook.
