ebrary Library Information Center

To celebrate US National Library Week, ebrary is offering librarians and librarianship teachers and students free access to its Library Center for a year. The Library Center includes more than 80 eBooks on a variety of topics relating to librarianship from several contributing publishers, including Emerald Group Publishing, Greenwood Publishing Group, Idea Group, MIT Press, and the Library of Congress. This trial continues until mid-April 2009.

Please note: At present you need an ebrary reader plugin to read ebrary eBooks. The plugin will become accessible on CSU’s public machines in July 2008. Later in 2008 ebrary will move to a Javascript interface that will obviate the need for this plugin.
