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.
