The Request function is to put a physical book or item on reserve. In order to access any of our ebooks through the catalog you have to click the text saying " Click here to access this eResource" in the description of the book. After this you will possibly have the option to download the book as well, but always be able to read it in your browser. You are also able to add ebooks to your List when logged in, but to access them you will need to click on the title again rather than "Request Item".
