Make a Virtual Bookshelf of Your Own on Ebrary

Ebrary is an e-book collection of 3,500 items. When you visit Tripod and find a Ebrary book, you can create an account to create and custom your own workspace (a virtual bookshelf). There you can set aside your own copy of titles you selected, highlight, bookmark and keep notes. Ebrary books are ready to read and use at all the public computers, including the library computers. On your own computer, you will need to install a special reader to use all the custom functions. Have a question? email dwong at hc dot edu or call x1416
