Why can’t I download “Stream Only” files?

These files are restricted to online use only and are not downloadable.

Why can’t I download/view books marked as “Restricted”?

Due to rights issues, some books may only be available in DAISY (Digital Accessible Information System) format. This format is specifically for text to audio devices for the print disabled.

No, not all files are downloadable.

There are access restricted items such as books in the lending program and some other collections, as well as some file formats in items to allow other files to be downloaded.

How do I bulk download?
