| NetLibrary |

You can “check out” an ebook as you would check out a book from the physical library. You can also make bookmarks and annotations in the ebook, and you may print a limited number of pages. Because the NetLibrary book collection is small, you do need to use the Keyword and Full Text search options to make sure that you've found all the available information in the collection.
