Ellibs e-books

Our Ellibs e-books are copy-protected PDF files for use by library customers. The books can be downloaded onto any computer that has net access, also your home computer. They are read on the computer to which they have been downloaded. Printing is partly blocked for copyright reasons. E-books cannot be reserved.

Reading the e-books requires Adobe Digital Editions. You should check that you have the required software before loaning your book. Help and additional information.

The Haltia database includes a list of e-books that can be loaned (Choose keyword relevance in “Find Results in”, and type the word lainattava in “Find This”). Choose your book by clicking the title and then “Linked Resources” in the availability interleaf, which takes you to the Ellibs login page. Your user ID is your library card number and your password your PIN code (default 12345). The loan period is one day or three days. You can return the e-books yourself or they will be returned automatically after the loan period has expired.
