The route to a Safari ebook from a OneSearch record for that book is a bit more circuitous than it is for ebooks on other platforms (such as Ebook Central or Books24x7). Here is what users will need to do:
- In the OneSearch record, click the green “Full text available” link.
- Instead of being taken to a Baruch login page (the one with the night time photo of the Vertical Campus building in the background), you get a web page on the O’Reilly website about the book and a popup window that says “Welcome! Get instant access through your library.” In that popup window, click “Select your institution” from the drop down menu and then at the top of the list of options, select “Not listed? Click here”
- A new box will open in the popup window asking for your “academic email.” Baruch and CUNY SPS folks should type in their school email address and then click “Let’s Go.”
- The Baruch College login page shows up (the one with the Vertical Campus building in the background). Baruch and CUNY SPS folks should enter the same username and password info they’d use to access any other library resource and click the “Login” button.
- The next thing the user will see is the ebook itself on the Safari platform and they can begin reading it.
