[WEB4LIB] Anyone subscribing to iTKNOWLEDGE.COM?

[Vickie Kline]

We've just started a subscription to ITKnowledge recently.  We don't
have a lot of feedback, but we find it much easier to use than
NetLibrary...

As for coverage, we believe it will be useful for general students.  We
teach a 2-credit information literacy course, so materials on Windows,
Word, PowerPoint, etc. are helpful.  We also have a lot of students
interested in creating web pages.  For business students, there are a
lot of titles that deal with e-commerce.

We also think that ITKnowledge will help with collection management.  
IT books typically take up a large amount of space and become outdated
quickly.   Having a self-updating collection that occupies no space is
very appealing!  :-)
