Answer

When you find an Acorn catalog record for an electronic book provided by NetLibrary, near the top of the information about the book you will see Web Link: Netlibrary.   Click on the Netlibrary link. 

If you are using the DiscoverLibrary catalog, simply click on the Online Resource link.  Information about the book and access to its full text will be provided in a new window.

The library's collection of Netlibrary books are now all available in the EBSCOhost eBook Collection.  You will see the table of contents for a particular ebook underneath the information describing it.  The chapters and other sections within the table of contents are clickable links taking you to those sections of the book's text.  On the left are links to take readers directly to the full text of the book, or to allow them to download the ebook for offline reading.  If you have problems accessing the e-book, it may indicate that there is somebody else using the ebook at that time. Certain e-book vendors have restrictions as to how many people can use a book at once.
