There are various ways to access something which says it is ‘Available Online’ on the LibrarySearch catalogue.
1. Click on the ‘Available Online’ link 
to open the item on the provider site
- If the item does not open from this link...
2. Click on the TITLE of the item instead of the 'Available Online' link to open the full catalogue record
- This will display all the details about the source along with link(s) to the full text for you to click.
- If there is more than one link in the list and the one you clicked does not work, please try one of the other links to access the item. For examples of what you may see for different formats of material see below.
Trying to open an eBook?
- Click on the Title of the book to open the catalogue record.
- Scroll down to the 'View Online' section and look for links under the heading 'Click the provider below to access the full text'.
- If there are multiple links listed, it may indicate the Library has more than one subscription to the book, or there is related content.
- Some eBook providers limit the number of users who can read the book at one time; if the title you want to read has a comment about concurrent users or says there is only 1 copy of the book, please take note.
- Click on the link to view the item. You should be taken to the site where the eBook is stored.
- If you see a message about the book being in use or the reading options are greyed out, check carefully for any option to join a queue to wait for it, or try again later. More details are available in our FAQ 'The eBook I want to use says it is already in use, why?'
- The example below is for an eBook from the O'Reilly collection of titles.

Trying to open a Journal Article?
- Click on the Title of the article to open the catalogue record.
- Scroll down to the 'View Online' section and look for links under the heading 'Click the provider below to access the full text'.
