Safari Books Online
The Library now has a subscription to over 5000 e-books from Safari Books Online, which is a recognized leader in providing technology how-to books. We opted for the most current package aka the Basic Tech Library package, so the titles and editions change regularly in the collection. Each book we subscribe to is listed in DiscoverE or you can browse the complete package online. (Note Safari has over 20,000 books online, so if you browse online you may run across titles we don’t own such as older titles or one of their subject-specific packages).
