netLibrary

We are finally getting on the band wagon. We have signed up for the first time with netLibrary through the CLC consortium that we are with. We will be getting about 400 ebooks. That is equal to almost a full year's worth of book purchases. We vary from 400 to 550 books a year in what we purchase. This will be a great boost in what we have available.

I just came back to work Monday from the ACL conference. While I was there learned what it was all about. So I was able to get it approved and signed up with it before the June 21st deadline.

These books are from the "B" section in the LC classification system. This means they are all on philosophy-psychology-religion. The topics range from commentaries, ethics, sects (groups, e.g.Mennonites, Presbyterian, Wesleyan...), and doctrine.

It will be exciting to see what the students think when they come back in the fall!
