Due to licensing restrictions for ebooks, only the students in those specific colleges can log in and use the ebook.

Current students and current and retired UMass Amherst faculty and staff may use Interlibrary Loan services to obtain a loan of books and other materials from a library beyond the Five Colleges or to obtain copies of articles and other materials from any library at no charge.
