Unlike online journals and many databases, the number of users who can access a particular e-book at the same time varies by platform and title. If you are turned away from an e-book that’s already in use, please try again after a short while. You might also check whether HSLS offers the same (or similar) e-book on another platform. Popular e-book titles available on multiple platforms include:
- Basic Immunology: Functions and Disorders of the Immune System, 4th edition
- Medical Interview: Mastering Skills for Clinical Practice, 5th edition
