How do I access the full text of an O'Reilly/Safari eBook?  

You need to create a free O'Reilly account using your CIA email address to access full-text eBooks from O'Reilly/Safari. You don't need to pay for access.

To create an account: 

  1. Click the link for the ebook you want to view, either within the catalog or a LibGuide.
  2. A pop-up box will appear saying, "Welcome! Get instant access through your library" along with a drop-down menu.
  3. Click "Institution not listed?" under the drop-down menu.
  4. Enter your CIA email address.
    • If creating an account: Click "Let's Go"
    • If you already have an account: Click "Already a user?"

After your account is set up, you can log in and access the book.

You can also download the O'Reilly app to download and read eBooks offline.
