Why can't I read the full text of this ebook?

With some of the electronic book providers listed on our eBooks page we only subscribe to a selection of the total content. The descriptive text next to each entry should indicate when this is the case. If you want to restrict your search to full text titles look for an option which says something like 'subscribed content only' or 'full text only'. Sometimes this option may only be available in Advanced Search.

The Safari collection is more flexible: we have access to a set number of titles but can swop these around according to demand. If you find a book in Safari which is not already fully accessible, please contact the Library Helpdesk who will arrange for it to be made available.
