eBooks and digital rights management (DRM)

Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems prevent the unauthorised use and copying of digital resources. While many of the library's eBooks are protected by DRM, these terms of access are set by the eBook vendor, author or publisher - not the library.

The most common form of DRM for eBooks is Adobe DRM. Ebooks on third-party aggregators (such as Proquest Ebook Central) are protected by Adobe DRM, which monitors and limits printing and copying/pasting allowances.
