If you want access to an electronic book that you already have a hard copy of, you will have to pay an additional fee, unless the book came with a key for access to an electronic version. If it did, it would have instruction on how to activate and a time limit on it.

You may have an easier answer. If your book is available either through ebrary or Safari, your campus or public library may have a subscription. I keep my alumni registration up to day primarily for access to campus library resources. Saves me tons of money at Borders.

If the books you are referencing are old literature, they may be in the public domain. In that case they may be available for free through the Gutenberg project.
