A little background, I and most others (students/faculty) find the EBSCO eBook interface poor, confusing, and frustrating. </div>

Instead of encouraging students to check out/download the entire eBook in EBSCO, I often tell users to just go through the table of contents and find what they need and download/print/save from there. </div>

Recently a single use eBook was assigned to a class as a textbook. One of the students checked out the entire book so it was inaccessible to others. I realized this would not have happened if the book wasn't available to check out. </div>

Can you set up EBSCO eBooks so that you can download sections via the table of contents only? I see a section in the admin back end that gives the option "Allow Download Outside eBook Viewer" YES or NO</div>

Has anyone experimented with this? If I select NO, will users still be able to access sections of the book via the table of contents?</div>
