E-Books Are Here!


The A.R. Wentz Library is going digital, thanks to the library’s participation in the Theological Libraries Ebook Lending Project. The library is pleased to announce that we are now offering e-books as part of your available collection of library resources. The Theological Libraries Ebook Lending Project is an initiative of the American Theological Library Association (ATLA). The project currently has 13 participating libraries and plans to increase that number. The new e-book service is powered by Odilo, a software company that specializes in digital content delivery platforms.

Each currently-enrolled student, faculty and staff member can check out up to two e-books for a period of two weeks with the option of automatic renewal becoming available on the last day of the loan. There is no need to worry about an overdue notice; e-books that are not renewed or returned early will be automatically returned on their due date. E-books offer a large amount of convenience, and our library staff hopes that you will enjoy using our new service.

There are several ways to access this exciting new service:
Detailed instructions for accessing and using the new E-Book collection are available at: http://www.ltsg.edu/doc/705

Microsoft Windows 10 and Android mobile device users can download free the Odilo App to navigate seamlessly the E-Book catalog and manage your checked-out E-Books from a single app.
Those using older versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, or iOS devices will need to visit www.theologicalebooks.org to access the e-book catalog and use either Adobe Digital Editions or Bluefire Reader to view the e-books.

If you have any problems or questions about our new e-books, please feel free to contact the library at: 717-338-3014 or email the staff at library@ltsg.edu.
