Ebrary is a platform that provides desktop access to online books. Online books are electronic versions of printed books and, in most cases, are an exact duplication of the printed book. Online books can be viewed online from any PC connected to the Internet, browsed for quick research and reference, or read online any time of day or night. We have access to 2600 titles in all subject areas. This access is part of a pilot program. We expect to add more titles at some point in the future.
