The Library buys e-books on a variety of platforms, but we do not necessarily have access to all the books on those platforms.
There are two kinds of e-book platforms:
The boxes below provide useful information regarding the different e-book collections at SU.
On the Wiley site a green open lock will indicate content that SU users have full access to. There is no way to limit the content to only that which is available to us.
Springer indicates no access with a yellow closed lock. At the top of the page a user can untick the button next to "Include Preview-Only content". This will limit your results to only those books that we have access to.
On the Sage site, a purple closed lock indicates content that we do not have access to. 
Sage allows you to limit your results to content "Available to me". See the list of filters on the right-hand side of the page.
