[WEB4LIB] computer books in the library

[Ed Veal]

I just did a search on netLibrary and found 138 titles by O'Reilly. We use netLibrary and I found I have access to 60+ titles that way. Just another idea. Ed

I would agree that O'Reilly is about the most reliable.  Has anyone tried 
their new offering called Safari 
(http://safari2.oreilly.com/tablhom.asp?home)? From a library standpoint, it 
may not be the best option since one is only buying ACCESS to the 
information--which could go away at any time. However, if I were a web 
developer, it might be worth the $9.95/month (for 5 titles) to have instant 
access. (note: this is NOT an advertisement for O'Reilly ;-) )
