About TitleDirect
|
netLibrary’s TitleDirect program lets you know quickly and efficiently
when new eBooks of interest to your library are available. Using profiles
created by your library, netLibrary will automatically generate and send
you via email lists of new eBooks, which you can then share with colleagues
and use to select titles for purchase and to place your eBook order
electronically. Your TitleDirect administrator decides who participates
and what content areas should be included in your library’s profiles, and
you can customize your TitleDirect lists to meet your preferences. With TitleDirect,
netLibrary further simplifies the process of adding eBooks to your collection.
