NetLibrary : a collection of e-books

NetLibrary
is one of the many cooperative ventures that the UCHC library engages
in with the Homer Babbidge Library at UCONN’s main campus at Storrs.
Specifically, NetLibrary is a collection of electronic books that may
be accessed by all members of the UCONN community. The collection consists
of 4,478 titles in all subject categories, including approximately 300
titles in medicine. Users may use the search tool at NetLibrary to find
e-books of interest.
You
will be asked to establish an “account” with NetLibrary, and
you may set a username and password of your own choosing. This free account
will allow you to create you own” eBookshelf”, save titles
in a “My Favorites “list for easy access in the future, create
a “Bookmarks” file that allow you to jump to bookmarked pages
instantly from your list, and allows you to link to the “Notes”
page for instant access to your annotations.
Books may be checked out for 4 hours at a time. Should the title you are
looking for be checked out already, you may request e-mail notification
and be alerted when the book becomes available for you to check out. When
reading an eBook online you may print or copy one page at a time by using
your browser's Print or Copy functions. Although you can print parts of
an eBook, printing an entire eBook violates copyright laws. netLibrary
takes precautions to protect copyright laws; if a suspicious usage pattern
indicative of excessive printing or copying is detected, netLibrary logs
the activity and sends the user a copyright warning.
Selected medical titles have also been added to the UCHC online catalog.
These titles may be browsed by setting the search box to “Call Number”
and then searching NETLIBRARY.
