If you're having difficulty accessing an e-book or cannot even log into it, please do take a look at our Electronic Resources Help LibGuide, where you can find solutions to most common e-resource access issues.
Why do I see 'all available copies currently in use' or a similar message when using some e-books?
Owing to publisher restrictions, some of our e-books do limit the number of simultaneous users and some may even only allow one reader at a time If you see this message, the limit has been reached. You will need to wait until one of the users finishes with the e-book before you can access it. Ebook Central lets you join a waiting list and receive a notification when the book is available.
The Library team receives a ‘turnaway’ report every time one of our users tries and fails to access a title for this reason.
