About NetLibrary

NetLibrary is an easy-to-use, Web-based system for identifying, retrieving and reading full-text reference, scholarly, professional and literary books.

The NetLibrary Collection provides an excellent opportunity for libraries to:

  • extend their local collections to remote users,
  • open new worlds of information and recreational reading to library patrons,
  • delight "early adapters" of new technologies,
  • offer easy-to-understand and use experiences with digital materials for more traditional library patrons.

The OCLC NetLibrary eBook Collection, along with the Electronic Library for Minnesota (ELM) databases in Minnesota, forms a foundation collection of full-text materials that extends the range and depth of your libraries holdings.

By combining time-honored print conventions like "browsing" and "checking out" materials with new functionalities like word searching within a text and electronic note-taking, NetLibrary eBooks help librarians create a more versatile and adaptable learning environment for their users.
