UC Berkeley is currently looking at three different vendors that provide access to electronic books. We'd like to get feedback from students and faculty on what you think about each vendor, or comments about any past experiences you may have had with them. Here are the links:
Ebrary: http://site.ebrary.com/lib/berkeley
EBL: http://www.berkeley.eblib.com/EBLWeb/patron.html
EBL requires a user name and password for login. Please email lngo at address below for info.
MyiLibrary: http://www.myilibrary.com/browse/open.asp
Some things to keep in mind when you're evaluating:
- Ease of access and use
- Display readability, search tools
- Quality of titles in your subject area
Our trials will continue until October 31, 2007. Please send comments/questions to lngo (at) library (dot) berkeley (dot) edu.
