Ebooks on demand


I am trying to access several ebooks all to do with the writing of novels and and for every one being presented with this page:
I have used ebooks for nearly every assignment I have done to date and have never before had to request rental? I have always just read it online. Please could someone help me with this?

University of Bedfordshire is offering a new service to students to broaden the range of materials available for their assignments called "eBooks on demand"
 
 
How does it work?
On demand ebooks look like other ebooks, except that there are 'Request rental' and 'preview' buttons instead of 'Download' and 'Read online'. Preview will give you a five minute read of the book. Request rental will automatically trigger a one week rental of the book, paid for by Learning Resources. When three students have requested a rental of a book it is automatically bought (again, paid for by us).
Please request the rental by clicking the "Accept" button
There is a Just a Minute Video on the web page to introduce this new service too
