How do I access ebooks from the Internet Archive?
Answer
You can search for and read free eBooks from the Internet Archive, including books for the BTC Music Appreciation course, along with many other titles.
The Internet Archive uses a one-book, one-user model for works still in copyright (most books published since 1925). Since the Internet Archive is not a subscription resource we pay for, it does not use the standard BTC log-in. To borrow and/or download and read these books, you'll need to:
- Create a free account with the Internet Archive, you can also log-in via your Google account if you have one
- Find the title you want to read, click on "Borrow" and select time period you want the item for:
You can renew that download as long as no one else has requested access to that ebook.
Some eBook and digital audiobooks can be downloaded temporarily to a personal device. Install Adobe Digital Editions to read the downloaded ebooks offline.
