You will need to use UPEI's login system to use these books even if you are on campus.
The first time you use it, you will see a popup that mentions sending you an email, but that's doesn't apply to us and you won't get any email.
If the first time you use it is through a catalogue link, and cannot get past the popup asking for your "academic email" address, come here and use this link first, then go back to the catalogue book link.
You should only have to do this sequence once per computer/web browser.
