Place a hold on it using your library barcode and PIN

You will be notified by CUE email

  1. When your request is received
  2. When the book is ready for pickup at the library service desk

Creating Personal Accounts

Some ebook and database platforms require you to create a personal account before you can save, print, or download pages from ebooks

Once created, these accounts give you access to additional features.

  • Highlighting, bookmarking, and annotating
  • Saving your search history
  • Creating folders to gather books and articles for your assignments

Personal accounts are not automatically generated with your basic CUE Library account.

The next videos show you how to create personal accounts with EBSCO and ProQuest eBook Central.

As always, you can Ask Us! for help.
