“The ebrary Reader downloads quickly and automatically, and doesn't require specialist knowledge to use.”

The ebrary® Reader™ software is a 700K application that provides every e-book or other PDF document submitted into the ebrary platform with sophisticated research utilities.  It also delivers e-books online, page-by-page, eliminating cumbersome document downloads.

Key capabilities:

• InfoTools™ software turns every word into a contextual link to additional online information.
• Personal Bookshelves automatically save links to highlights, notes, and bookmarks.
• Multiple search options including simple, advanced, full-text, key word, Boolean, and proximity. ebrary also supports federated search.
• Automatic, customizable citations that include a URL hyperlink back to the source.
• Numerous ways to navigate throughout a document:
  • Go to each occurrence of a search term.
  • Flip through pages, one-by-one.
  • Go to specific page numbers.
  • Table of contents.
• Copying and printing text with automatic citations.
• Typing notes inside an e-book. 
• Highlighting text in multiple colors.
• Durable links that integrate with Blackboard and WebCT.  

The ebrary Reader takes just seconds to install.  And, it displays content much faster than the Adobe® Reader®, while maintaining the exact appearance of the original document.

ebrary recently announced the public beta for our new Java-based Reader, which will replace our current proprietary plug-in and will provide better functionality and ease-of-use. For more information, please read our press release.
