No, it is working as they intend.  It is, after all, a University 
Library and undoubtedly there more for University-based research, 
student and staff, than for that of the general population.  Likely is 
that somewhere along the line they ran into copyright issues and just 
decided not to all whole books to be downloaded from there on out.  I 
was just flummoxed because I couldn't get it to work any more.

One can still use it effectively but is always nice to be able to d/l a 
whole unit for browsing, or a snowy afternoon read,  later.

Still permissible to copy by the page any page that will come up.
