You should now see a list of books you have borrowed, and your class set copy should appear in this list.  You can then click the access links, such as reading on a Kindle, reading in the browser, or downloading to your computer as shown in the image below.

If the book does not appear in your account or you have any problems accessing the book, please contact cda-jira@csusm.edu and let us know the title of the book you are attempting to access and which course it is for.
