You can share a link to a book but not a specific chapter.

OpenURL Compliance (Statement from ACLS)
HEB is OpenURL compliant on the title level, but not on the chapter and page level. In order to offer the most stable link to an individual title, you may use the title-specific handle, which can be found in the book’s catalog record, and the format for which matches the following example:

http://hdl.handle.net.ezproxynsc.helmlib.org/2027/heb.01234.0001.001

You may also use the Citable Link on the title record page of each book at www.fulcrum.org/heb, located beneath the Subject. The format matches this example:

https://hdl-handle-net.ezproxynsc.helmlib.org/2027/fulcrum.kk91fm144

The Citable Link may be used to link to a title in the HEB collection on syllabi and course packs or on learning management systems such as Blackboard, Moodle, Canvas and D2L.

Printing and Downloading
Since most material on this site is licensed for online electronic distribution only, this means that users are restricted to printing a chapter or chapters for personal research use. If, as an instructor, you want to use material in a course, you can provide the Citable Link permanent URL on the title record page. If you want to photocopy a chapter for your course, you must apply directly to the original publisher or copyright holder for permission. If in doubt, or for further information, see our section on fair use.

To download a chapter, go to the chapter/section headings listed under the “Table of Contents” tab. The “Read” button will take you into the e-reader; clicking on the “Download” button generates a PDF of the chapter.

Do not distribute the download link — HEB titles can be accessed by subscribers in a variety of ways, which impacts the URL generated.

A chapter may be downloaded or printed at a time. This is generally sufficient for following a citation or extracting a quotation and follows HEB’s policy for fair-use rights and limitations.
