For Ebsco ebooks:

Your book will automatically expire once the checkout period has ended. But you may return the book early using the following steps.

  1. Open Adobe Digital Editions and view your bookshelf.
  2. Right click on the item you'd like to return
  3. Select Return Borrowed Item
  4. Confirm by clicking Return once the dialog box opens

For Proquest ebooks:

  1. 1-user titles are not available for full download
  2. Proquest does not allow early return of multi-user items, though the title can be removed from your Library within Adobe Digital Editions. It will expire on the original due date selected when the item was checked out.

For OverDrive ebooks:

  1. From the UARK Libby landing page, click the book icon in the bottom menu to open the Shelf.
  2. Click Manage Loan.
  3. Click Return Early. 
  4. The return confirmation page will appear.
