How do I get to the user library on another drive

I know I can hold Option in the Finder Go menu to get to the user library. I have a clone of an older system I can't boot into. I would need to access the user library on that drive. I can get to the user and see the user contents, But I can't see the user's library. Is there any way to do this, perhaps using a Terminal command?


Any assistance would be most appreciated.


Thanks very much.

You need to either be in the folder which contains it or supply that folder's path in the field. For example, /Volumes/drivename/homename/Library can be reached with the whole string or by navigating to /Volumes/drivename/homename/ and putting in Library.
