The only eBook system for librarians that recognizes the challenges you
face.
The time-honored role of libraries as repositories of the world's knowledge
is as meaningful today as it has ever been. In spite of the opinions of
some that technology is rendering ours a self-service world, or that
knowledge is attainable via bits and bytes of data, just the opposite is
true when it comes to organizing, accessing, and distributing quality
content. Clearly, as technologies for accessing content multiply, as time
becomes an even more precious commodity, the guidance of those devoted to
practicing the information sciences is growing in value.
Bringing eBooks to this environment is not as simple as merely taking
published content, converting it to electronic form and making it available
to users, fact by fact or byte by byte. To preserve the role of the
library system requires a more considered approach. For that reason, we've
chosen to bring the value of the library profession to eBooks even as we
bring the value of eBooks to libraries.
The result is the most comprehensive, most widely adopted, most proven
approach to eBook implementation and use in academic libraries. One that
supports the mission of libraries. One that works simply and functionally in
ways libraries find easy to adopt. And, because current, relevant, quality
content is as important to libraries as it is to those who provide it, one
that also encompasses publishers' needs for bringing both print and
electronic content to colleges and universities in a rapidly changing
electronic age.
