How do I access O'Reilly Safari ebooks?

O'Reilly Safari ebooks require a different login process compared to many online resources available through OU Libraries.

To access O'Reilly Safari ebooks you will need to start from the Ohio University Libraries website.

A database search for "Safari Books Online" will get you to this page: https://ohiolink-ou.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01OHIOLINK_OU/1km1hkm/alma991031680969708516. From there, click a link in the "View Online" section to visit this resource.

Users will be asked to "Select your institution" from a dropdown menu.  Ohio University is included on this list.

You will then be asked to input your email, this must be @ohio.edu email.  After this, you will then enter your password or create one if new to O'Reilly.

After logging in you will then be redirected to the O'Reilly page.

 

 

NOTE: If your ohio.edu email was previously used for free-trial access to Safari you may become locked out after 30 days and see the message "Unable to create user" on the login page.  If you suspect this may have happened, please email customercare@oreilly.com directly. However, if you have any trouble with this, please contact the OU Libraries staff for assistance.
