Welcome to Database of the Week \u2014 a feature from the Management & Economics Library (MEL).\u00a0 These weekly database snapshots will give you basic information about our most relevant and beneficial online resources.<\/p>\n

This Week\u2019s Featured Database: <\/strong> eBooks<\/p>\n

Link:<\/strong> www.lib.purdue.edu\/mel<\/a>, in the catalog (see a 90-second demo here eBooks in the catalog<\/a>) or through one of our collections (see the demo here eBook collections<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Description\/focus:<\/strong> The link for eBooks takes you to a page with links to the business collections of NetLibrary<\/em>, Safari<\/em>, CAB, and Springer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Start with this hint:<\/strong> When you see a book of interest in NetLibrary<\/em> you can look at the chapter titles by clicking Show Details<\/strong>.\u00a0 In Safari<\/em> and Springer<\/em> you can also choose to search the chapter titles as well as book titles.\u00a0 For example, a title search for \u201cproject management\u201d yields 5 books in NetLibrary<\/em>, but 7 books and 44 chapters in Safari<\/em>.\u00a0 A search of the catalog for title, subject, or keyword will include eBooks.<\/p>\n

Why you should know this database:<\/strong> The eBook collections have the full text of books in all fields of business, and include reference books as well.<\/p>\n

How this database can be integrated into the curriculum:<\/strong> Required reading does not have to be a hardcopy textbook or a chapter on our reserve shelf.\u00a0 Students can be referred instead to books or chapters in NetLibrary<\/em>, Safari<\/em>, or Springer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Cost:<\/strong> varies by database; if you would like to know what the library pays for any of these, send an email to mdugan@purdue.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
